If your income is above the median you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
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 credit reporting time limits.
