Prior to actually filing for bankruptcy, the amount of time to prepare the paperwork will vary dependingg on the complexity of your case. Once you have filed a Chapter 7, you will probably receive your discharge in about 3.5 to 4 months. After you file, you will attend a meeting of creditors in about 4-6 weeks where you will answer questions by the bankruptcy trustee and possibly creditors. You are eligible to receive a dishcharge 60 days after the conclusion of the meeting of creditors unless one of your creditors files legal action to try to prevent you from receiving a discharge. By day 62 or 63, the bankrupty court should mail you a copy of the discharge order in the mail

Usually when filing bankruptcy takes time to process.

It is long proces when filign bankruptcy. Once you filed bankruptcy already then you should wait normally 8 to 10 years before you can file again.

A chapter 7 can remain on your credit report for up to 10 years after the date of the discharge. It will drop off after that because of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.

On standard credit reports, BKs remain being reported for 10 years from discharge. As a matter of public record or for special record requests they are available for much longer.
