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.
1 There is a four year waiting requirement if a person has filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy and wishes to file for Chapter 13.  Finally, a person must usually wait 6 years after filing for Chapter 13 before they can file Chapter 7.
