Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 discharges most unsecured debts after a trustee sells nonexempt assets. Chapter 13 requires a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. In Illinois, you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Illinois?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Illinois does not have a separate state law that changes these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Arlington Heights?
You may keep your home if you have enough equity to use the Illinois homestead exemption. The exemption is up to $15,000 for an individual or $30,000 for a married couple. A lawyer can help you determine if your home is protected.
