Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Florida?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts in exchange for selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a 3 to 5 year repayment plan for your debts. Florida has specific income limits for Chapter 7 eligibility based on the means test.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Florida?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. However, you can begin rebuilding your credit soon after your case is discharged.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in New Port Richey?
Yes, you can often keep your home and car if you use Florida exemptions. Florida has an unlimited homestead exemption for your primary residence. You can also protect up to $1,000 in vehicle equity under state law.
