Frequently Asked Questions
What types of bankruptcy can I file in Collegeville?
Individuals in Collegeville typically file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Chapter 7 liquidates non-exempt assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over three to five years. Pennsylvania law determines which assets you can keep under each chapter.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Pennsylvania?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes about three to four months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts the length of your repayment plan, typically three to five years. The timeline depends on court schedules and the complexity of your case.
Will I lose my house if I file for bankruptcy in Collegeville?
Not necessarily. Pennsylvania has a generous homestead exemption that protects up to $300,000 of equity in your primary residence. If your equity is within this limit, you can keep your home in a Chapter 7 case. A lawyer can review your specific situation.
