Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may allow you to create a realistic repayment plan with your creditors based upon your reality. In many cases the amount repaid is significantly less than the amount that was owed.
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, also known as a “reorganization,” is basically a court ordered payment plan for your creditors. Under a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy you keep your property and agree to a three to five-year repayment plan for some of your debt. If you follow the plan, the remainder of your unsecured debt will be eliminated. A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is usually a better option if you have fallen behind on your house payment because the repayment plan allows you to catch up those payments and avoid foreclosure, and repossession. Under a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, all of your debts, with a few very limited exceptions, are paid inside the court ordered payment plan, so you would not keep making payments on them after you file your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
