Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in New York?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to discharge most debts, while Chapter 13 creates a 3-to-5 year repayment plan. In New York, you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7. Chapter 13 is often used to catch up on mortgage arrears or pay non-dischargeable debts.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in the Eastern District of New York?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 repayment plan lasts 3 to 5 years. The court in Central Islip handles West Babylon cases, and you must complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in West Babylon?
New York law allows you to use state or federal exemptions to protect equity in your home and vehicle. The New York homestead exemption protects up to $179,975 of equity for most filers. A lawyer can help you apply these exemptions to keep your property if you meet the criteria.
