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 you may need to sell non-exempt property. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. Illinois law sets specific income limits and exemption amounts for each type.
How long does 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 law does not change these federal reporting time limits.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Glenview?
Yes, you may keep your home if you use the Illinois homestead exemption. As of 2024, the exemption protects up to $15,000 of equity, or up to $30,000 for joint filers. A lawyer can help you apply this exemption correctly.
