Filing Chapter 13
When it comes to different types of bankruptcy, there are different ways that you can file depending on who you are and where your money is currently tied up. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a way of filing for individuals who live in the United States. These individuals are going to undergo a reorganization of their finances, which will be supervised, by a bankruptcy court. The chapter 13 bankruptcy is geared towards individuals who are in debt but who are currently earning income. If they are able to fulfill a court approved plan, they are going to be able to be completely rehabilitated from their debts. If you are badly in debt, you have your choice of filing for either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy. It is all going to depend on what kind of income you are bringing in. If you are not bringing in enough money, there isn’t going to be any way that you can file for Chapter 13, because Chapter 13 requires that you fulfill certain obligations. If you have filed for Chapter 13, you are going to have a plan to pay back your creditors over 3 to 5 years. In this period of time, the creditors to whom you owe money cannot attempt to get this money from you except through the bankruptcy court. You will still get to keep your property, and the creditors are going to end up with less money than they are actually owed. It is sometimes a good thing to file for Chapter 13 instead of Chapter 7. For instance, you are going to be able to stop a bank from foreclosing on your house, and you’ll be able to have a mortgage that has been accelerated actually be reinstated once you have completed the plan. However, the disadvantage is that you are going to have this on your record for at least 10 years. You are also not going to be able to get additional credit while you are trying to pay back your debts.
