Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Clearwater?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and can discharge most unsecured debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for individuals with regular income. Florida law requires you to pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Clearwater Florida?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. The automatic stay goes into effect immediately upon filing which stops most collection actions.
