Frequently Asked Questions
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Maine?
To qualify for Chapter 7 in Maine you must pass the means test which compares your income to the median income for a Maine household of your size. For a single person the median income is around $65,000 as of 2024. If your income is higher you may still qualify after deducting certain expenses.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Maine?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. Maine does not have a separate state law that changes this federal rule.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Gorham Maine?
Maine has a homestead exemption that allows you to protect up to $100,000 of equity in your primary residence. If your equity is below this amount you can keep your home in Chapter 7. In Chapter 13 you can catch up on missed payments through a repayment plan.
