Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Canton Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts you must pass the means test which compares your income to the state median. For a single person the median income is around $70,000 but this amount changes every six months. If your income is too high you may need to file Chapter 13 instead.
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. Massachusetts law does not change these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Canton?
Massachusetts has a homestead exemption that protects up to $500,000 of equity in your primary home if you file the declaration properly. For Chapter 7 you can keep your home if your equity is below this limit and you continue making mortgage payments. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed payments over three to five years.
