Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a legal proceeding that allows you to catch up on some of your debts and discharge other debts. If you have a steady income, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to get rid of the debts you can’t pay while keeping the things that are the most important to you.You make payments for a period of three or five years. Once you finish your payments, your qualifying debts are discharged, and you have the fresh start that you deserve.
Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be your best option if you have a steady income. You use your monthly income and your expenses to calculate a monthly payment amount. That payment gets divided among your debts.If you have secured debts, like a mortgage or a car payment, you can use these monthly payments to get current on your debts and keep these items. For non-secured debts like credit card debts, you can use the monthly payments to pay some of what you owe. Then, when your Chapter 13 payment period is complete, your non-secured debts are wiped clean.
A bankruptcy filing under Chapter 13 works to make your debt payments manageable based on your income. You start by looking at your income. Then, you determine how much you can afford to pay.You calculate your expenses based on a combination of what your actual expenses are and what typical monthly expenses are in your area for allowed categories of expenses like utilities. You factor in secured debts like your mortgage and your car payment so that you can get caught up. Then, you put your remaining disposable income towards paying some of your unsecured debts. When you pay a portion of your unsecured debts for the payment period, you can discharge the rest of your debts with a clean slate.
Our bankruptcy attorneys can help you determine if a Chapter 13 filing is right or you. If you qualify to file a Chapter 13 case, there are some advantages over a Chapter 7 proceeding that you may want to take advantage of.In a Chapter 13 proceeding, you can save your home from foreclosure. Even if you’re behind on your mortgage payments, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing can halt the foreclosure process and give you time to catch up. There are other benefits to filing a Chapter 13 proceeding if you qualify. The experienced bankruptcy attorneys at Half Price Lawyers can help you understand all the options.
You file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy by bringing a petition to the bankruptcy court. The petition tells the court that you’re seeking Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. You must file paperwork that details your debts, assets, income, and expenses. The court looks at the entire financial picture from the period before you begin your case. You provide tax returns so that the court has a clear view of your financial situation. If you’re married, you may file together.A trustee oversees the case, and there will be a meeting of the creditors to verify your debts and develop a payment plan that’s both reasonable and appropriate under Nevada law.
