Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Wisconsin?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors, and it typically discharges most unsecured debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to create a repayment plan over three to five years to pay back some or all of your debts. A Fond du Lac lawyer can explain which option fits your financial situation.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Wisconsin?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply uniformly across all states, including Wisconsin.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Fond du Lac?
In Wisconsin, you can use the state homestead exemption to protect up to $75,000 of equity in your primary residence. If you file Chapter 7 and your equity is within this limit, you can usually keep your home. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed mortgage payments through a repayment plan.
