What Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is commonly known as the wage earner bankruptcy. This option allows individuals additional time to pay creditors through a court-approved debt reorganization plan. Usually the debtor is granted three to five years, depending on circumstances, to pay back a portion of accumulated debt. At the time of filing, an automatic stay is issued, immediately stopping foreclosures , wage garnishments, and other collection actions. At the end of the repayment plan, the individual is discharged from the debts addressed in the plan.
Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Right for Me?
Many times Chapter 13 bankruptcy is the best choice for debtors with significant equity in real property and/or other valuable assets. In some cases, a person may qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but it may be more advantageous to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy — especially if the person has built significant equity in a home. As an experienced bankruptcy attorney, Gary L. Mason can help you determine if Chapter 13 bankruptcy is right for you.
