Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Novato?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically takes 3 to 4 months. Chapter 13 requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. California law determines which exemptions you can use to protect your 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. You can rebuild credit over time with responsible financial habits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Novato?
You may keep your home if you have equity protected by California homestead exemptions. For Chapter 7, the exemption amount depends on your county and age. For Chapter 13, you must continue mortgage payments and catch up on arrears through the plan.
