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.
Chapter 13: Plan must be filed. In Chapter 13, the Plan must also be filed within 15 days after the Bankruptcy was filed. The plan provides for submission of future income and the treatment of creditors, specifying when and how much each kind of creditor will receive. [Rule 3015(b) FRBP]
