What’s Involved In Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

In order to file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you need to have enough income to make the monthly payments of your debt reorganization plan. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a good way to pay down or eliminate your debt, and you can stay in your home and keep your car.

In order to qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you need a regular income and to complete credit counseling from an approved agency. We’ll be glad to give you a list of local providers.

You also need to pass the bankruptcy means test. If your secured debt (house or car) or unsecured debt (credit card or medical bills) is below certain limits, you may qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If your debts exceed those limits, our attorneys can help you look at alternatives, including Chapter 11 bankruptcy.

Getting A Fresh Start

Under this plan, you agree to repay some or all of your debts over 36 or 60 months, including regular monthly payments on your house and car.
