Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Shelby Township?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically discharges most debts within a few months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income and allows you to keep more property. A lawyer can help you determine which chapter fits your financial situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Michigan?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes about 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts the length of your repayment plan typically 3 to 5 years. Michigan courts require you to complete a debtor education course before your debts are discharged.
