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.
Chapter 7 bankruptcy typically takes the shortest time to complete and most cases can be resolved within four to six months. Within 14 days of filing your bankruptcy petition, you must submit the appropriate documentation to the court, including a list of creditors, a list of debts and assets and a financial statement.
