Will filing for bankruptcy eliminate all of my debts?

No, bankruptcy does not erase all types of debt. While credit card balances and medical bills are often dischargeable, obligations like child support, most student loans, and recent tax debts typically cannot be eliminated.

Can I keep my home and car if I file for bankruptcy?

It depends on the type of bankruptcy you file and your state's exemption laws. Chapter 13 often allows you to keep your property while you repay debts over time, and Chapter 7 has exemptions that may protect your primary assets. A bankruptcy lawyer can advise on your specific situation.

How long does a bankruptcy stay on my credit report?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy typically remains on your credit report for seven years, while a Chapter 7 can stay on your record for up to ten years. However, you can begin rebuilding your credit immediately after your debts are discharged.
