What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also known as the ” debt consolidation form of bankruptcy” because it enables individuals with a regular income to develop a realistic plan to repay all or a portion of their debts, in many cases for pennies on the dollar and with 0% interest. Under Chapter 13, the debtor proposes a repayment plan to make installments to creditors over three to five years.

What are the Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Advantages to Chapter 13 include:

Individuals looking to maintain their home can avoid or prevent foreclosure.
Individuals can get caught up on any overdue mortgage payments while staying current with their obligations included in their repayment plan.
Individuals can restructure the repayment of their debts to a new schedule, which may help lower payments over time.
Chapter 13 can help protect third parties who share liability (such as co-signers).
During the repayment plan, the law forbids creditors from starting or continuing any type of collection efforts, which can be reassuring for debtors who have been harassed by creditors for any length of time.

Factors that Affect Your Chapter 13 Repayment Plans

When you file for Chapter 13, you are required to create a repayment plan that shows how you will be able to repay your debts to creditors.

Some factors that affect your monthly repayment plan include:

Amount of your debts. You must include all of your priority debts, unsecured debts, secured debts, and any back payments for your home or car if you are keeping the property.
How much disposabl

e income you have. For most people, their monthly payments will be their disposable income.
The length of your payment plan. Plans range from three to five years, and the length of time depends on if your current monthly income is higher than the median for your household size in your state. If higher, your plan may last five years. If lower, your plan may be three years.

After your repayment plan is complete, you may be able to discharge your remaining balance, allowing you to move forward with your life debt-free.
