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 takes 3 to 6 months. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for individuals with regular income. California law sets specific exemption amounts for both types.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in California?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. California courts do not have the power to change these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in San Juan Capistrano?
You may keep your home if you file for Chapter 13 and make plan payments. In Chapter 7, California allows a homestead exemption of up to $300,000 for most homeowners, or up to $600,000 for those 65 or older or disabled. Consult a lawyer to see if your equity is protected.
