Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Wantagh?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts after you sell non-exempt assets, while Chapter 13 involves a 3-to-5-year repayment plan. In New York, your eligibility for Chapter 7 depends on passing the means test, which compares your income to the state median. A lawyer can help you decide which chapter fits your financial situation.
How long does bankruptcy take in New York?
A Chapter 7 case typically takes 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge. Chapter 13 lasts 3 to 5 years while you make payments. New York requires you to complete a credit counseling course before filing and a debtor education course after filing.
