What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, also known as a "wage earner's plan," is a legal process designed to help individuals reorganize their finances and create a manageable repayment plan. Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which involves the liquidation of assets, Chapter 13 allows you to retain your assets while restructuring your debts.

Key Features of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy:

Debt Repayment Plan:

One of the primary features of Chapter 13 is the creation of a personalized debt repayment plan. This plan is tailored to your specific financial situation and is designed to make your debts more manageable.

Asset Retention:

Unlike Chapter 7, where non-exempt assets may be liquidated to repay creditors, Chapter 13 allows you to keep your assets while meeting your obligations through the repayment plan.

Extended Timeline:

Chapter 13 typically provides a more extended timeframe for debt repayment, ranging from three to five years. This extended period can make it easier to catch up on missed payments and address outstanding debts.

Protection from Creditors:

Once you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect. This legal injunction prevents creditors from pursuing collection actions, providing you with breathing room to reorganize your finances.
