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.
When filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the court must approve your payment plan. If it denies your plan, and this is your second filing for Chapter 13, then you will likely have to file a Chapter 7. The timeline of waiting six years will apply.
