Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Massachusetts?

How long does a bankruptcy case take in South Dennis?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 3 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 cases last 3 to 5 years. All cases are filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Massachusetts, which serves Barnstable County.
Do I have to take a credit counseling course before filing?
Yes, Massachusetts law requires you to complete a credit counseling course from an approved agency within 180 days before filing. You must also take a debtor education course after filing to receive your discharge.
