How long does it take for a Chapter 7 to be dismissed?
about four to six months
For most filers, a Chapter 7 case will end when you receive your discharge—the order that forgives qualified debt—about four to six months after filing the bankruptcy paperwork. Although most cases close after that, your case might remain open longer if you have property that you can’t protect (nonexempt assets).
How do you get a bankruptcy dismissed?
Reasons the Court Might Dismiss Your Bankruptcy
- Committing Bankruptcy Fraud.
- Failing the Means Test.
- Not Completing the Mandatory Education Courses.
- Paying the Court Filing Fees.
- Not Filing Required Forms and Supporting Documents.
- Not Attending Your Meeting of Creditors.
- Failing to Make Your Chapter 13 Plan Payments.
Can I change my mind after filing Chapter 7?
You do have the right to change your mind after filing bankruptcy, but this can be a lengthy and sometimes complicated process. If you filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the court is more likely to dismiss your case as long as doing so wouldn’t harm your creditors.
What is the difference between Chapter 13 dismissal and discharge?
When the court grants your discharge order, it cancels your obligation to repay the discharged debt. If the court enters a dismissal order, it ends your bankruptcy case without your debt being discharged or eliminated. A case that has been dismissed means that it is like you never file for bankruptcy.
