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.
You, or someone you know, may be considering filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy but are unsure about how long the filing process takes. Typically, a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case is relatively quick to complete. Your bankruptcy case could be completed and discharged within 3-6 months of filing bankruptcy.
