Dean David A. Reingold shares progress on the strategic goals for the College of Liberal Arts.
The length of a bankruptcy case depends on many circumstances, but it mostly depends on which type of bankruptcy you file. There are two main types of personal bankruptcy: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Generally: 1  Chapter 7 debt discharge bankruptcy = 3-6 months. 2  Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan = 3-5 years.
In contrast, you may not receive a Chapter 13 discharge until four years have passed since filing for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. To file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy after a Chapter 13 discharge, you must wait six years from the filing date of the prior Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
