Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Pennsylvania?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy wipes out most unsecured debts like credit cards and medical bills. Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates a repayment plan over three to five years. In Pennsylvania you must pass a means test to qualify for Chapter 7.
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. The automatic stay stops collection calls and lawsuits while your case is active.
Can I keep my car or house if I file for bankruptcy in Huntingdon?
Yes you may keep your car and house if you can continue making payments and the equity is within Pennsylvania exemption limits. The homestead exemption protects up to a certain amount of equity in your home. A lawyer can review your specific assets.
