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.
Every client asks that question: how long will bankruptcy take? Probably, the real question is âwhen will this be over?â Like so many questions in the law, the answer is âit depends.â From filing to discharge. In a Chapter 7, filing to discharge is about four months; in Chapter 13 itâs three to five years.
