Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Wisconsin?
Chapter 7 bankruptcy involves liquidating non-exempt assets to pay creditors, and it is typically for individuals with limited income. Chapter 13 bankruptcy requires a repayment plan over three to five years, often used by people with regular income who want to keep their property. A Wausau lawyer can help you decide which option fits your situation.
How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report in Wisconsin?
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains 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 uniformly across Wisconsin.
Can I keep my house and car if I file for bankruptcy in Wausau?
Yes, you may be able to keep your house and car if you use Wisconsin exemptions properly. Wisconsin allows you to exempt up to $75,000 of equity in your home and up to $4,000 of equity in a motor vehicle. A bankruptcy lawyer can explain how these exemptions apply to your specific assets.
