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.
But there are a lot of little deadlines in between filing your petition and receiving your bankruptcy discharge. 14 Days after Bankruptcy Filing. If you or your bankruptcy attorney filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition before filing the supporting documentation, you will have up to 14 days to submit your financial schedules to the bankruptcy court.
