Frequently Asked Questions

What bankruptcy chapters are available in Vestal?
Individuals typically file under Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Chapter 7 liquidates non-exempt assets to pay debts, while Chapter 13 involves a repayment plan over three to five years. New York law determines which property you can keep through state-specific exemptions.
How long does a bankruptcy case take in New York?
A Chapter 7 case usually takes three to six months from filing to discharge. A Chapter 13 repayment plan lasts three to five years. The automatic stay stops most collection actions immediately after filing.
What are the income limits for Chapter 7 in New York?
To qualify for Chapter 7, you must pass the means test comparing your income to the New York median for your household size. If your income exceeds the median, you may need to file Chapter 13. A local lawyer can calculate this for you.
