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 7 bankruptcy, which is typically used by people in debt who have limited income, usually takes between four and six months. First, filers give the bankruptcy court a detailed petition that lists, among other things, their debts, their assets, and the names of their creditors.
