Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Los Angeles?

Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation process that discharges most unsecured debts — such as credit cards and medical bills — typically within four to six months. It requires passing a means test based on income. Chapter 13 allows filers to keep their assets while repaying debts over a three-to-five-year plan, making it a common choice for homeowners who want to avoid foreclosure. Los Angeles residents often face higher debt loads due to the cost of living, which makes understanding these options critical before filing.

How does bankruptcy affect credit and how long does it stay on a record in California?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on a credit report for ten years; a Chapter 13 remains for seven. While filing does impact your credit score initially, many filers find their scores begin recovering within one to two years — especially once discharged debts are removed from the record. Responsible credit use following bankruptcy, such as secured cards and on-time payments, can accelerate rebuilding. An experienced Los Angeles bankruptcy attorney can help you plan a realistic financial recovery path from the start.
