Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
For those who don’t qualify for Chapter 7 “liquidation” bankruptcy or who have assets that they want to protect, Chapter 13 “reorganization” bankruptcy is a good alternative. Chapter 13 bankruptcy lets you create a debt repayment plan to pay off your debts over a 36- to 60- month period.
This is especially helpful when you have debts than cannot or you wish not to be discharged through Chapter 7 bankruptcy like:
- Home mortgage (including additional mortgages through Chapter 13 lien stripping)
- Car loans
- Student loans
- Child support
- Alimony (spousal support)
- Taxes
This kind of bankruptcy also has more flexibility than Chapter 7. As long as you keep up with your monthly plan payments, you may not have to repay the full amounts of your debt.
Once your plan ends, you can begin to rebuild your credit score. Contact us to schedule a free initial consultation and start down the road to debt relief.
Automatic Stay
Anytime you file for bankruptcy, an “automatic stay” goes into effect that stops creditors from trying to collect from you, stops creditor harassment and can even stop foreclosure. Creditors can’t call your home or garnish wages from your paycheck. The automatic stay, while ‘automatic’, can be lifted for various reasons. One of which is when a case is re filed within a year of a prior case. There are many variables to the practice of bankruptcy law, and having an experienced attorney on your side helps you navigate the bankruptcy process successfully.
