Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main types of bankruptcy for individuals in Buford?
The two most common types are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debts, but you may lose non-exempt property. Chapter 13 involves a 3-to-5-year repayment plan and allows you to keep all property while catching up on secured debts like a mortgage.
What property can I keep in a Georgia bankruptcy?
Georgia allows you to use state exemptions to protect certain property. You can keep up to $21,500 in home equity, one motor vehicle up to $5,000 in value, and personal property like clothing and household goods up to $500 per item. These amounts are subject to change and may be doubled for married couples filing jointly.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Georgia?
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 immediately after discharge by using secured credit cards and making timely payments.
