Frequently Asked Questions
What is the California means test for bankruptcy?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a California household of your size. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you might need a Chapter 13 repayment plan. A lawyer can calculate this for you.
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. However, you can start rebuilding your credit soon after your case is discharged.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in San Luis Obispo?
California has generous homestead exemptions that may protect your home equity. For a Chapter 7, you can keep your home if your equity is below the exemption limit. For a Chapter 13, you can keep your home by making plan payments. A local lawyer can review your specific situation.
