The length of your bankruptcy is going to depend on which chapter you file and in which jurisdiction your petition is filed. Obviously, because a chapter 13 bankruptcy is a repayment plan it is going to take longer than a chapter 7, which is a simple discharge. Typically, a chapter 7 bankruptcy will take 3-4 months to complete, however, it can take slightly longer if filed in Cook County because of the amount of cases filed in that jurisdiction. A chapter 13 bankruptcy will usually last a minimum of 38 months if completed by the debtor, but can take up to 62-64 months for a longer repayment plan. As noted earlier, the repayment plan will be based on the income and assets of the debtor.
