Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers a powerful solution for individuals seeking to reorganise their debts and keep their property. Unlike Chapter 7, which liquidates assets to pay creditors, Chapter 13 allows you to create a repayment plan to clear your debts over a period of three to five years. At Michelotti Law, we guide you through every step of the Chapter 13 process, ensuring that you understand your options and the best path forward.
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a type of bankruptcy that allows individuals to reorganize their debts and pay them off over a period of three to five years. The main advantage of Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that it allows individuals to keep their assets, such as their home and car, while they pay off their debts.
One of the main benefits of Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that it allows individuals to catch up on missed payments on their mortgage or car loan, while also paying off other debts. This can be particularly useful for individuals who are facing foreclosure or repossession, as Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help them keep their home or car while they get back on track with their payments.
Another advantage of Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that it may allow individuals to reduce the amount of their debts. Through the bankruptcy process, individuals can negotiate with their creditors to lower the amount of their debts or to extend the repayment period. This can make it easier for individuals to pay off their debts and get back on track financially.
Finally, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can also help individuals to protect their assets from creditor actions. While they are in bankruptcy, creditors are generally prohibited from trying to collect on debts or from taking any action to seize the debtor's assets. This can provide some much-needed breathing room for individuals who are struggling to pay their bills.
