What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in South Carolina?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in South Carolina, your income must be below the state median for your household size. The median income is updated periodically by the U.S. Trustee. If your income is higher, you may need to file Chapter 13 and complete a repayment plan.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Columbia, South Carolina?
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 Columbia holds hearings at the Strom Thurmond Federal Building.
Will I lose my house if I file for bankruptcy in South Carolina?
Not necessarily. South Carolina offers a homestead exemption of up to $60,000 for real property. If your equity is within that limit, you can keep your home. A lawyer can help you calculate your equity and exemptions.
