When individuals file for bankruptcy, they often are unsure how long they will have to repay their debts. In some cases, their debts will be discharged, and they will not be forced to repay these debts.

For debts that individuals are required to pay, they typically have between 36 and 60 months to repay their debts. The length of time for debt repayment usually depends on the type of bankruptcy filing.
