FAQs on Bankruptcy Legal Services

Bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals and businesses to eliminate or restructure their debts under federal court supervision. It can provide relief from overwhelming financial obligations, stop creditor harassment, and offer a fresh financial start.
The most common types of bankruptcy for individuals are:
  • Chapter 7 (Liquidation Bankruptcy): Eliminates most unsecured debts, such as credit cards and medical bills, and may require selling certain non-exempt assets.
  • Chapter 13 (Reorganization Bankruptcy): Allows individuals to keep their assets while restructuring their debts into a manageable repayment plan over 3 to 5 years.
Businesses may also file for Chapter 11 to reorganize and continue operations.
Not necessarily. Many assets may be protected under bankruptcy exemptions, including your home, vehicle, retirement accounts, and essential personal property. Chapter 13 allows you to keep your assets while repaying debts through a structured plan.
Bankruptcy can lower your credit score initially, and it may remain on your credit report for up to 10 years (for Chapter 7) or 7 years (for Chapter 13). However, it also provides an opportunity to rebuild your credit over time without the burden of overwhelming debt.
Yes. Filing for bankruptcy triggers an automatic stay, which immediately stops creditor calls, lawsuits, wage garnishments, and foreclosure actions while your case is pending.
Eligibility for Chapter 7 is determined by the means test, which compares your income to the median income in Vermont. If your income is too high, you may need to file for Chapter 13 instead.
It depends on the type of bankruptcy and the equity in your property. Chapter 13 allows you to keep your home and car by restructuring payments, while Chapter 7 may require selling assets that exceed exemption limits.
Certain debts, such as student loans, child support, alimony, certain tax debts, and court-ordered fines, typically cannot be discharged in bankruptcy.
Chapter 7 cases typically take about 4 to 6 months from filing to discharge.. Chapter 13 cases last between 3 to 5 years, as they involve a repayment plan.
While you can file for bankruptcy on your own, the process is complex, and mistakes can lead to case dismissal or loss of assets. An experienced bankruptcy attorney ensures that your rights are protected, maximizes exemptions, and helps you navigate the process effectively.
