Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Chapter 7 wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on Connecticuts median income. Chapter 13 creates a repayment plan over three to five years using your future income. Both stop creditor calls and lawsuits.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Meriden?
A Chapter 7 case typically finishes in three to six months. Chapter 13 lasts three to five years depending on your plan. You must complete a debtor education course before your discharge.
What property can I keep if I file bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Connecticut allows you to use state exemptions to protect your home up to a certain equity limit, one vehicle, and personal belongings. You can also keep retirement accounts and most tools of your trade. A lawyer can help you maximize exemptions.
