Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

A Manageable Repayment Plan for California Debt

Struggling with your finances is frustrating, and constantly reaching for a solution that is unattainable is exhausting. Often, people only need a little help to regain control of their finances, but they don't know where to find the answers they need.

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, an attorney works with clients to reorganize their debt and prepare a manageable payment plan. Although the process takes longer than Chapter 7 bankruptcy, at the end, clients have the satisfaction of knowing they conquered a portion of their debt.

Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, clients work with their attorney to create a repayment plan for their debt. The repayment plan is submitted to the court, and there is a meeting with the creditors. Once the plan is approved, clients make payments for 3-5 years, and at the end, any remaining unsecured debt is discharged.

Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Bankruptcy lawyers work with clients to help them regain financial stability. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy helps clients get rid of second and third mortgages, and it can reduce vehicle loans to their present day value. In most cases, you do not need to give up personal property.
