Chapter 13 bankruptcy has helped millions of Americans get
out of debt. Chapter 13 allows you to pay back your creditors, and create a
payment plan that works for you. Chapter
13 can also allow you to keep your home as missed mortgage payments can be included
in your payment plan. You can stop foreclosure and keep your home. Car
payments can also be restructured and high interest payments can be eliminated.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Petition
Filing the petition with your bankruptcy lawyer is the first
step. Once your attorney files your bankruptcy petition with the courts, an
automatic stay is put in place so that your creditors cannot try to collect
debts from you. This means the harassing phone calls will stop as does wagegarnishment, repossession, foreclosure, and lawsuits.
When filing, you will need to provide the names and
addresses of all of your creditors and financial liabilities including your car
loan, medical bills, credit card debt, tax liabilities, student loans, child
support payments, alimony payments, personal loans, and mortgage. Listing your
income and all of your debts is considered in what is called the “means test”
to ensure that Chapter 13 will work for you. Your attorney can help you
navigate this process.
