Understanding the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Process
While Chapter 7 liquidates assets and discharges debt, Chapter 13 restructures debt into a reasonable 3-5-year repayment plan. The court will require you to use all your disposable income in this period to repay your creditors. Once this process is complete, the court will most likely discharge any outstanding debt.
Key Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers several advantages, including the opportunities to:
- Save your home from foreclosure
- Extend the maturity of secured debts
- Lower payments
- Protect co-signors
- Consolidate debt into a single payment, distributed by the trustee
Like all types of bankruptcy, Chapter 13 triggers an automatic stay, which freezes all collection actions from creditors—including calls, foreclosure proceedings, garnishments, and lawsuits.
Eligibility Requirements for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
To qualify for Chapter 13, you must meet the following requirements:
- Your unsecured debt is less than $336,900
- Your secured debt is less than $1,010,650
- You are not a corporation or partnership
- You have completed an approved credit counseling course
- You have not recently had a bankruptcy petition dismissed
Many people who file do so because they could not qualify for Chapter 7. But for many debtors, Chapter 13 is truly the most effective solution for their situation because they have the income needed to make regular payments and they have more assets than they could keep in Chapter 7.
