Chapter 13
bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a way that you can get
your debt off of your back. You can set up new plans to pay
off your loans in a manner that suits your needs. Once your
plan is over all of the debts left over will be entirely
discharged. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is different from
Chapter 11 in that you can force this upon your creditors and
any interest on credit cards must stop growing. No longer will
they be able to charge their regular interest rates on your
debt, no matter how much it is.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is more
powerful than Chapter 7 in that many more debt will able to be
discharged. Another thing that makes Chapter 13 bankruptcy a
nice option is that it will give you the time you need to get
it together enough to pay the few debts that cannot be
discharged. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is good for those
whose primary debts are those that will not be discharged if
they were to file for Chapter 7 instead.
These debts include back child support and
alimony among other things. If you have significant
liens, ones that actually exceed the amount of the securing
assets. You will also want to choose Chapter 13 bankruptcy if
you have not filed taxes for a long time and it is also good
for those who may be subject to a substantial abuse objection.
And one of the main reasons that people file for Chapter 13
bankruptcy is because their assets far exceed their available
exemptions.
When you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy you will
not have to pay for the entirety of your debts, the only debts
that will most likely have to be made in full are your recent
child support payments, alimony and taxes.
Not everyone is eligible for Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Only individuals who have regular income and who have
liquidated some of their secured and unsecured
debts.
