Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Allows You to Regain Financial Control

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a viable option for debtors who have a steady income and who are ineligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides wage earners with the opportunity to consolidate debt through an extended payment plan.

Payment plans, approved by the bankruptcy court, provide means for catching up on overdue debt. Depending upon your situation, they can last three to five years. Upon successful completion of your plan, any remaining debt is discharged.

Stopping Foreclosure Actions

When a petition for Chapter 13 bankruptcy is accepted by the courts, an automatic stay is put in place. This prevents creditors from any further collection actions against you. If you have fallen behind on mortgage payments, foreclosure proceedings will cease for a period of time, enabling you to catch up on past due payments.
