Understanding Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
The primary legal resource available to individuals facing debts they are unable to meet is to file for consumer bankruptcy through either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. For those considering taking such an action, it is first important to understand the difference between the two and how each could impact you. With fewer qualifications, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is made available to many more people than is Chapter 7. Chapter 13 bankruptcies can serve as a tool to provide you some relief while enabling you to maintain most, if not all, of your assets including your home.
As with Chapter 7 bankruptcy, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy will initiate automatic stays against most collection attempts against you for at least a short time. Furthermore, unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy which may enable you to delay a foreclosure sale but likely won’t prevent it, in most cases Chapter 13 bankruptcy will provide means for you to save your home from foreclosure.
Either form of bankruptcy will require the applicant to submit significant paperwork and financial disclosures. Chapter 13 bankruptcies will also involve the creation of a repayment plan, usually 3 to 5 years in length, to allow you to fulfill reorganized debt obligations to your creditors.
