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 in a few 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 the value of your assets.
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. However, you can begin rebuilding your credit immediately after the discharge.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Mountain View?
Yes, you may keep your home if you can continue making mortgage payments and the equity is covered by California exemptions. California offers a homestead exemption that protects up to a certain amount of equity, which is adjusted periodically. A lawyer can help you calculate your specific situation.
