Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main types of bankruptcy for individuals in Rochester?
The two main types are Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Chapter 7 involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 allows you to create a repayment plan over three to five years. New York law sets specific exemption amounts for property you can keep.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in New York?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years from the filing date. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays for 7 years. This is a federal rule that applies in all states, including New York.
What is the means test for Chapter 7 in Rochester?
The means test compares your income to the median income for a similar household in New York. If your income is below the median, you qualify for Chapter 7. If it is above, you may need to file Chapter 13. The median income figures are updated regularly by the U.S. Trustee.
