Frequently Asked Questions

What is Chapter 11 bankruptcy and when does it make sense in Miami?

Chapter 11 is a reorganization chapter available to businesses and individuals whose debts exceed Chapter 13’s statutory limits. Miami-Dade small business owners facing creditor pressure can use Chapter 11 to propose a plan that restructures debt while keeping the business operating. The Subchapter V small business track — available since 2020 for businesses with debts under approximately $7.5 million — makes Chapter 11 faster and less expensive for Miami-Dade businesses that need relief without a prolonged court process.

Can I keep my car if I file bankruptcy in Miami-Dade County?

In Chapter 13, you can keep your car by including the car loan in your repayment plan — and if the loan is older than 910 days, you may be able to reduce the principal owed to the car’s current market value through a cramdown. In Chapter 7, you keep the car by reaffirming the debt and staying current on payments. Florida exempts up to $1,000 in motor vehicle equity, which protects modest vehicle value from liquidation by the trustee.

How does bankruptcy affect credit and when can Miami residents recover?

A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on a credit report for 10 years; Chapter 13 stays for 7 years. However, many Miami-Dade filers begin rebuilding credit within 12–24 months through secured credit cards and consistent on-time payment habits. The discharge of a heavy debt load often improves debt-to-income ratios, which can accelerate credit score recovery faster than continuing to miss payments on unmanageable balances.
