Chapter 7: about six months from filing to closing. The first meeting of creditors ("341 meeting") is about a month after filing, then 45 days to take the financial management class and file the certificate. Discharge shortly after.

Chapter 13: anywhere from a month to five years (60 months).

Both timelines assume no problems that extend the time needed to complete.

How long after bk7 is discharged?

After a Chapter 7 bankruptcy (BK7) is discharged, the process can take several months to finalize, but the discharge itself typically occurs about 3 to 6 months after filing. Once discharged, the debtor is no longer legally obligated to pay most of their debts included in the bankruptcy. However, it may take longer for the bankruptcy to be reflected on credit reports. The discharge also marks the end of the bankruptcy process, allowing individuals to begin rebuilding their credit.
