Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in California?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically discharges most debts within 3 to 6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. In California, the choice often depends on your income level and whether you have non-exempt property.
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. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law and apply uniformly across all states, including California.
