Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Foxborough Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a similar sized household in the state. For cases filed after May 15 2024 the median income for a single earner in Massachusetts is around 69800. If your income is above the median you may need to file Chapter 13 instead.
What property can I keep in a Massachusetts bankruptcy?
Massachusetts allows you to choose either state or federal exemptions. State exemptions let you protect up to 500000 in home equity under the homestead exemption and up to 7500 in a motor vehicle. Federal exemptions offer different protections such as unlimited homestead exemption up to a cap but with lower vehicle protection. A lawyer can help you decide which exemption system is better for your situation.
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. However you can begin rebuilding credit soon after your case is discharged by using secured credit cards or small loans responsibly.
