Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Chapter 7 eliminates most unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills after a court liquidates non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for debts while you keep your property. Massachusetts exemptions allow you to protect certain assets in both types.
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. However you can begin rebuilding credit soon after your case is closed.
Do I have to live in Marblehead to file for bankruptcy there?
You must file in the federal bankruptcy court for the district where you have lived for the majority of the 180 days before filing. For Marblehead residents this is the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts.
