Understanding Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy can provide many benefits. Known as Individual Debt Adjustment, Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to pay off debts over a certain amount of time. Only those with a stable income may file a Chapter 13 petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals to:
- Receive more time to pay off debts
- Create a repayment plan
- Use future income to pay off debts
- Maintain ownership of assets and personal property
A repayment plan can let you make steady payments on your debts over a certain amount of time, generally 3-5 years. Even though you will still have to pay off your debts, you will be able to keep possession of your assets, including your home, vehicles, personal property, and other items. On the other hand, if you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy (reserved for those who don’t have enough steady income to make payments for a repayment plan), you will have to sell your non-exempt assets to pay off your debts.
