Why File for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Whether you have lost your job, gone through a divorce or you are just struggling to keep up with your bills, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to reorganize your debt into payments you can actually afford. We help clients who want to pursue Chapter 13 bankruptcy for a variety of reasons, including:
- Failed means test: If you do not pass the Chapter 7 means test required by the new bankruptcy law, you can still get relief through Chapter 13.
- Save your home and other assets: By making an effort to pay back your creditors, you can keep your home, cars and other assets you have worked so hard for.
How Does the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Process Work?
There are a lot of important steps in the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process and our attorneys will be there for you every step of the way:
- Credit counseling: You are required to take part in credit counseling before you can file for any type of bankruptcy in court.
- Organize a repayment plan: Once you file for Chapter 13, we will work with your creditors to create a three- to five-year payment plan you can afford.
- Discharge your remaining balance: Once you have successfully completed your payment plan, you remaining unsecured debt will be wiped clean.
