Frequently Asked Questions
What is the means test for Chapter 7 bankruptcy in New York?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a New York household of your size. If your income is below the median, you may qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you might need to file Chapter 13 instead.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in New York?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. These time limits are set by federal law, not New York state law.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Garden City?
In New York, you can use the state homestead exemption to protect up to a certain amount of equity in your home. For Chapter 7, the exemption is limited, but Chapter 13 allows you to catch up on missed mortgage payments over time.
