Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Illinois allows you to discharge most unsecured debts after selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan. A lawyer can help you decide which option fits your financial situation.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in Illinois?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 case lasts the length of your repayment plan, usually 3 to 5 years. The court in Illinois requires a credit counseling course before filing.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Hanover Park?
Illinois has a homestead exemption that protects up to $15,000 of equity in your home, or up to $30,000 for married couples filing jointly. If your equity is within these limits, you can keep your house in a Chapter 7 case. A Chapter 13 plan can also help you catch up on missed mortgage payments.
