Understanding Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a viable debt relief solution for those who have higher incomes and/or assets, and who wish to save their home from foreclosure. In Chapter 13, an affordable repayment plan is established by the bankruptcy court. 

The plan typically lasts three or five years, allowing a debtor to repay some or all of his or her consolidated debts. Following successful completion of a repayment plan, the remaining dischargeable debt is eliminated.

Advantages of Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

There are many advantages when it comes to filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.

Key Benefits Include:

  • After filing, home foreclosure will be stopped as well as any efforts to collect your debt.
  • Your property will be protected from liquidation
  • You may keep your home even if you are behind on mortgage payments
  • You do not have to deal with creditors directly. A bankruptcy trustee will be assigned to your case and will disperse your payments.
  • You will have plenty of time to create a repayment plan that will last 3 or 5 years.
  • A lot of your debt will be discharged and you will no longer be responsible for it.

Impact of Chapter 13 on Your Credit Score

Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to get on the road to rebuilding your credit sooner. It may appear on your credit report for as long as a decade, but it is still a good choice compared to drowning in debt and doing nothing. Missing payments, repossession of your car or other property, and collection lawsuits are more difficult to explain when talking to future lenders. If there is a bankruptcy on your report, they will at least see that something was done to manage the debt. 

Chapter 13 will also cause you to lose your credit cards, however, you will be able to obtain new lines of credit within a few years after filing.
