Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to discharge most unsecured debts, while Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California, you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7, and Chapter 13 can help you catch up on mortgage or car payments.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date, while a Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can begin rebuilding credit soon after discharge, and many lenders in California offer secured credit cards to help.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in California?
California allows you to choose either the state exemption system or the federal exemption system. State exemptions protect a homestead up to a certain value, a vehicle up to a specific amount, and personal property like clothing and furniture. A lawyer can help you select the best set of exemptions for your situation.
