Bills computation

Understand Chapter 13 bankruptcy

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a good choice for those who have a steady flow of income; this is used to slowly pay off debt in the next 3 - 5 years. This is why it's also known as the "wage earner's plan." When you file for bankruptcy under Chapter 13, you get the same protection as you do with Chapter 7, i.e., there's an immediate stop to creditor actions, like home foreclosure and vehicle repossession.


This gives those who are a little behind on payments a chance to rethink, reorganize and catch up on how they manage their debt. The time allotted to you, whether it's 3 or 5 years, also depends on the results of the Means test.
