Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Attorneys

Reorganization May Be A Viable Option
The bankruptcy laws provide an opportunity for a fresh start to those individuals whose financial difficulties have left them unable to pay their bills and have put them at risk of losing their homes, vehicles or other property. Obtaining a discharge of your pre-bankruptcy debt is at the core of that fresh start.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a debt adjustment procedure and reorganization. Upon the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition, a Plan is proposed by the debtor that provides for repayment of a portion of the debtor’s debts over a three to five year period from future earnings.
The Bankruptcy Court appoints a Chapter 13 Trustee to administer the bankruptcy case. Once the Chapter 13 Plan is confirmed, the Trustee receives payments from the debtor and disburses them to creditors. During this time the law forbids and “automatically stays” (stops) most collection actions and/or foreclosure proceedings against the debtor or the debtor’s property.
Once the Chapter 13 case has been fully administered, a discharge of debts is entered. Some debts that may not be discharged could include alimony, child support, certain taxes, some educational loans, personal injury or deaths caused by driving while under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or debts resulting from a crime.
