A Structured Repayment Plan Under Federal Court Protection

Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals with regular income to reorganize debt through a court-approved repayment plan lasting three to five years.

Upon filing, the automatic stay may immediately stop:

• Foreclosure actions
• Wage garnishments
• Repossession efforts
• Collection lawsuits

Chapter 13 provides breathing room while structured payments are made over time.

Stop Foreclosure and Catch Up Over Time

If you are behind on mortgage payments, Chapter 13 may allow you to:

• Halt foreclosure proceedings
• Spread arrears over a structured repayment period
• Maintain ongoing mortgage payments
• Protect home equity

This option can provide stability while preserving long-term ownership.

When Chapter 7 Is Not Available

Chapter 13 may be appropriate for individuals whose income exceeds Chapter 7 eligibility thresholds.

It may also be suitable if you:

• Have significant secured debt
• Need to protect non-exempt assets
• Want to repay debt under structured court supervision
• Require extended time to stabilize financial obligations

Chapter 13 offers strategic reorganization rather than liquidation.

  1. Income and debt evaluation
  2. Repayment plan development
  3. Attorney-reviewed petition preparation
  4. Formal court filing
