Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Massachusetts, you must pass the means test, which compares your income to the state median for your household size. For cases filed in 2024, the median income for a single person in Massachusetts is about $73,000. If your income is above that, you may still qualify after deducting certain expenses.
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 start rebuilding your credit immediately after your case is discharged.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in Massachusetts?
Massachusetts allows you to use state exemptions to protect certain property. You can keep up to $500,000 of equity in your home, up to $7,500 in a motor vehicle, and up to $5,000 of household goods. You may also keep tools of your trade and retirement accounts.
