Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts but may require selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a 3-to-5 year repayment plan to pay back some debts while keeping your property. Illinois exemptions determine what property you can keep in either case.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Calumet City?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts 3 to 5 years as you make payments under the plan. The process starts with credit counseling and ends with a court discharge.
