A bankruptcy filing is a tough yet necessary decision that people struggling with huge financial debts must make. It may take time to get your debts discharged, depending on the chapter of bankruptcy you\u2019ve filed. While it takes about 3-6 months to get a discharge in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case, Dallas based bankruptcy law firm Recovery Law Group<\/a>, informs that a Chapter 13 case continues for 3-5 years\u2019 period before you can get a discharge on remaining unsecured nonpriority debts. However, once you have filed for bankruptcy, the case becomes public record and can be seen by anyone.<\/p>\n

Bankruptcy can have a detrimental effect on your credit report. In fact, a bankruptcy stays on your credit report for 10 years.
