A
Chapter 13 case in Bankruptcy is a method of repaying all or a portion of
your debt to some or all of your creditors over a period of time.
The
time span and monthly payment in a Chapter 13 Case is be based on the type
of debt, the total amount owed, and available income after deductions for
the reasonable and necessary living expenses incurred on a monthly basis.
This
is a great way to pay taxes which are not dischargeable, mortgage and auto
arrearage, as well as certain other obligations which would still be owed
in a Chapter 7 case.
The
time to repay in such a plan is generally between 3-5 years but may be
much shorter if the personal circumstances permit.
In
both Chapter 7 and 13 Cases your creditors are prohibited from harassing
you in anyway, wage garnishments are stopped in most cases, and civil
judgments may be eliminated.
To
qualify for protection under Chapter 13, you must have a regular income
with enough excess income after deductions for your basic living expenses
to make a regular monthly payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee over the life
of the plan.
AND
REMEMBER, AS IN A CHAPTER 7 CASE, ONCE I AM RETAINED, THE CREDITOR CALLS
MUST STOP,
ITS
THE LAW.
