Chapter 13 Explained
Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be better suited to provide the protection and debt relief you need. If you have more property you want to protect, secured debt and some regular income, then Chapter 13 bankruptcy may allow you to save your home if you are facing foreclosure and may be able to eliminate unsecured debt such as credit card debt.
It can be an effective way to reestablish financial stability. If you’ve been knocked off balance by a crisis, but have regular income with which to make monthly payments, Chapter 13 bankruptcy can provide a powerful safety net.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy combines the automatic stay feature with a debt restructuring plan and a 3-5 year payment plan for catching up on payments. These features, and extended property protection, make it an attractive option for people seeking to avoid repossession or stop foreclosure.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is generally used by debtors who want to keep secured assets, such as a home or car, when they have more equity in the secured assets than they can protect with their Florida bankruptcy exemptions.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a reorganization whereas Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation.
