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 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). Your case will take longer, however, if any number of things happen.
