Why File Chapter 13?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides a process for repaying some or all of your debts by making monthly payments to a trustee who, in turn, will distribute those payments to your creditors. Chapter 13 plans usually run three to five years.
Chapter 13 is not for everybody, but in certain circumstances, you can accomplish things in Chapter 13 that you can’t do in Chapter 7. Chapter 13 filings can:
- Stop foreclosures and save your house – will not change or alter the balance of your mortgage but does allow you to get out of arrears
- Provide bankruptcy relief for high-income families that are not eligible for Chapter 7
- Provide a process for repaying debts that Chapter 7 bankruptcy will not eliminate, such as child support, student loans and unpaid taxes
- Provide a way to repay your debts if you want to pay your creditors but can’t do so outside of bankruptcy due to creditor harassment or lawsuits
- Allow you to keep the assets that are ineligible for exemption under Chapter 7, like your car, and pay their value to creditors
If you are considering Chapter 13, you need expert and experienced bankruptcy advice. Please contact my office for a free phone consultation if you need to know more about chapter 13.
