Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors, typically discharging most debts. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to create a repayment plan over three to five years to pay back some or all of your debts. Illinois law determines which property you can keep under exemptions.
How long does 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. This applies nationwide, including in Illinois.
