Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts, your household income must be below the state median for your family size. For a single person in 2024, the median is about $72,000. If your income is higher, you may need to file Chapter 13 instead.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Massachusetts law does not change these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Arlington?
Massachusetts offers a homestead exemption that protects up to $500,000 of equity in your primary home if you file the homestead declaration. If you have less equity than the exemption amount, you can usually keep your house in Chapter 7.
