Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in New York?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on your income. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan and is for people with regular income who want to keep their property. A lawyer can explain which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in New York?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. New York law does not change these federal credit reporting time limits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in East Meadow?
You may keep your home if you file for bankruptcy in New York by using the state homestead exemption which protects up to $179,950 of equity in your primary residence. If your equity exceeds this amount you might lose the home in Chapter 7 but Chapter 13 can help you catch up on missed payments.
