What is a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Posted on Thursday, March 13th, 2014 at 8:56 am    

Chapter 13 BankruptcyChapter 13 is a type of bankruptcy that allows consumers who are struggling with debt to seek relief through the court. Chapter 13 is commonly used by people who are facing home foreclosure, as it can stop that process in its tracks. A debtor must meet Chapter 13 requirements to file for bankruptcy under this chapter. Unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which allows the debtor to discharge some debts in exchange for the sale of nonexempt property to pay creditors, Chapter 13 allows the debtor to keep their property and repay creditors in a three or five year court-approved repayment plan.

If you’re struggling to pay your bills each month, filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 may allow to you get back on track by reorganizing your debts into one affordable monthly payment; however, there are certain requirements that must absolutely be met in order to file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. A Kenton County, Kentucky bankruptcy attorney can determine if you are eligible for a Chapter 13.
