Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Pennsylvania?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts but requires you to pass a means test based on Pennsylvania median income. Chapter 13 involves a 3 to 5 year repayment plan and is often used if you have a steady income and want to keep property like a home.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Pennsylvania?
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 and apply in Pennsylvania.
Can I keep my house if I file for bankruptcy in Hummelstown Pennsylvania?
Pennsylvania has a homestead exemption that can protect up to a certain amount of equity in your home. For cases filed after April 2024 the state exemption is $33,700 for a single person. If your equity exceeds this limit you may still keep your house under Chapter 13 by paying creditors over time.
