Frequently Asked Questions
Chapter 7 bankruptcy discharges most unsecured debts (credit cards, medical bills) through a liquidation process — most Arizona filers keep all assets due to state exemptions. Chapter 13 creates a 3–5 year repayment plan and is used to save a home from foreclosure or catch up on car payments. Eligibility for Chapter 7 is determined by the means test under 11 U.S.C. § 707. A Gilbert bankruptcy attorney can determine which chapter is right for you.
Arizona's bankruptcy exemptions include: homestead up to $250,000 (A.R.S. § 33-1101), one motor vehicle up to $6,000 (A.R.S. § 33-1125), household furniture up to $6,000 (A.R.S. § 33-1123), retirement accounts (fully exempt), and tools of the trade up to $5,000. Arizona does not allow use of federal exemptions. A Gilbert bankruptcy attorney can help you maximize the assets you protect.
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy remains on your credit report for 10 years; Chapter 13 for 7 years. However, many Gilbert filers see credit scores begin to recover within 1–2 years of discharge as they rebuild credit. The immediate benefit is relief from creditor harassment and the automatic stay under 11 U.S.C. § 362 stopping wage garnishments, foreclosure, and repossession the moment you file.
