Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Ohio?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically wipes out most unsecured debts, but you may have to sell non-exempt property. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3-to-5 year repayment plan, allowing you to keep your property and catch up on missed mortgage or car payments. Ohio law sets specific exemption amounts for property you can keep in either chapter.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Ohio?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. This is a federal rule, not specific to Ohio, but it applies to all residents of Oregon, Ohio.
Do I have to take a credit counseling course before filing in Ohio?
Yes, Ohio law requires you to complete an approved credit counseling course within 180 days before filing for bankruptcy. You must also complete a debtor education course after filing to receive your discharge. These courses are available online or by phone.
