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.
As such, Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases can take, on average, 36 to 60 months to complete. Sixty months is the statutorily-defined maximum period of time that is permitted under federal bankruptcy law for the completion of a Chapter 13 plan.
