Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy eliminates most unsecured debts after a court trustee sells non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. Massachusetts allows you to keep more property under state exemptions than federal exemptions in many cases.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Massachusetts?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply nationwide, including in Massachusetts.
