Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in New Jersey?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy allows you to discharge most unsecured debts after selling non-exempt assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy involves a repayment plan over three to five years. In New Jersey, Chapter 7 is available if your income is below the state median, while Chapter 13 is for those with regular income who can pay some debts over time.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in New Jersey?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. New Jersey law does not change these federal reporting periods.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Forked River?
New Jersey offers a homestead exemption of up to $100,000 for real property you live in. If your home equity is less than this amount, you may be able to keep it in a Chapter 7 case. In Chapter 13, you can keep your home as long as you continue making mortgage payments and complete your repayment plan.
