Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Illinois?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidates non-exempt assets to pay creditors and typically takes 3 to 6 months. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a court-approved repayment plan over 3 to 5 years, allowing you to keep your property while catching up on missed payments.
What property can I keep if I file for bankruptcy in Illinois?
Illinois allows you to use state exemptions to protect certain property. You can keep up to $15,000 in home equity, $4,000 in a vehicle, and necessary household goods. Retirement accounts and certain personal items are also protected.
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. However, you can begin rebuilding your credit immediately after your case is discharged.
