How Does Chapter 13 Work?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is commonly referred to as a “wage earner’s plan” as it is commonly used by those with a regular income. Under Chapter 13, debtors can put together a repayment plan so that they can repay their creditors over a period of three to five years. If your current monthly income is less than the state median, this plan will be for three years; however, you may be able to extend it to five years so long as the court approves.

Just some of the benefits of filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy:

• Automatic Stay – Once you file, all creditors must stop all attempts to collect.
• Put a Stop to Foreclosure – The automatic stay will put a halt on foreclosure proceedings.
• Shows for Less Time on a Credit Report – Chapter 7 shows on your credit report for 10 years. Chapter 13 only shows for 7.
