What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non exempt assets to pay creditors and discharges most debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan based on your income. Illinois law sets specific income limits for Chapter 7 eligibility.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Illinois?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. The impact lessens over time as you rebuild your credit.
Can I keep my car and house if I file for bankruptcy in Granite City?
Yes, you may keep your car and house if you can continue payments and if the equity is within Illinois exemption limits. Illinois allows a homestead exemption of up to $15,000 for a single person and $30,000 for a married couple. A lawyer can help you apply these exemptions.
