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.
The average Chapter 7 bankruptcy case takes about four to six months to complete. The average Chapter 7 bankruptcy case will take from four to six months from the time you file to the time that you receive your discharge (the order that officially wipes out your debt).
