Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Mequon Wisconsin?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Wisconsin, your household income must be below the state median for your family size. For a single filer in 2024, the median income is about $65,000. If your income is higher, you may still qualify after passing the means test, which subtracts allowed expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Wisconsin?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Wisconsin law does not change these federal reporting time limits.
Can I keep my car if I file for bankruptcy in Mequon?
Yes, you may keep your car if you can protect it using Wisconsin exemptions. The motor vehicle exemption allows up to $4,000 of equity in one vehicle. If you have a loan and continue payments, you may also keep the car through reaffirmation.
