Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Brea?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts, like credit cards and medical bills. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for your debts. A Brea lawyer can help you decide which chapter fits your situation based on your income and assets.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
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 the same across all states, including California.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Brea?
Yes, you may keep your home if you use California bankruptcy exemptions. The homestead exemption protects up to a certain amount of equity in your primary residence. A bankruptcy lawyer can help you calculate your equity and apply the correct exemption.
