Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Connecticut?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Connecticut wipes out most unsecured debts but may require selling non-exempt property. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. Connecticut uses its own exemption system which protects certain assets like up to 75,000 dollars of home equity.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Shelton Connecticut?
A Chapter 7 case in Connecticut usually takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The process includes a meeting of creditors held in the Bridgeport bankruptcy court.
Will I lose my house if I file for bankruptcy in Connecticut?
In Connecticut you can protect up to 75,000 dollars of equity in your primary home under the homestead exemption. If your equity is below that limit you can usually keep your house in a Chapter 7 case. In Chapter 13 you can catch up on missed mortgage payments through your repayment plan.
