Frequently Asked Questions
What is the means test for bankruptcy in California?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a household of your size in California. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file for Chapter 13 and repay some debts over 3 to 5 years.
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. The automatic stay stops most collection actions while your case is active.
Can I keep my car or house if I file for bankruptcy in Oakland?
California allows you to use state or federal exemptions to protect property. The California homestead exemption can protect up to a certain amount of equity in your home. A lawyer can help you apply the correct exemptions to keep your car or house.
