Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Protection

If you have a steady income and want to protect your property and other assets, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing may be the best option for you. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to pay a portion of all your debts in installments (many interest free).  Most people qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy as long as they have a regular income that allows you to create a budget and make monthly payments towards your debt.

Structuring A Repayment Plan With An Attorney

While Chapter 7 consumer protection is classified as a liquidation bankruptcy, Chapter 13 implements a process of reorganization and debt repayment. During a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a structured repayment plan will be drafted and implemented.  The bankruptcy payment is largely based on what you can afford.  The plan accounts for your consolidated debt, income and your ability to pay off debts over time — most Chapter 13 repayment timelines last three to five years.

Some potential benefits of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy include:

  • Your property and assets will remain untouched.
  • A structured repayment plan will give you time to gradually repay your debts.
  • Being able to pay back many of your debts interest-fee.
  • Repossession actions will stop.
  • Your home will be protected against foreclosure.
  • You can begin rebuilding your finances and credit rating.
