A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply in Massachusetts.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Wareham?
You may keep your home if you claim the Massachusetts homestead exemption, which protects up to $500,000 of equity. For Chapter 13, you must continue making mortgage payments. A lawyer can review your specific situation.
