Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Connecticut?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Connecticut you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a similar household in the state. For a single earner the median income is around $67000 as of 2024 but these figures change periodically. If your income is above the median you may still qualify after deducting allowed expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Connecticut?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Connecticut law does not change these federal reporting time limits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Simsbury?
Connecticut offers a homestead exemption that protects up to $300000 of equity in your primary residence if you have lived there for at least two years. If your equity is within this limit you can likely keep your home in a Chapter 7 case. Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed mortgage payments over a repayment plan.
