About this title

Synopsis

Stop creditors. Get more time to pay

Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers unique debt solutions not available in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Yes, you’ll pay into a repayment plan. But your money will go toward the debts that matter most—like your mortgage, car loan, support obligations, and taxes. Remaining debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and utility bills, usually get only a fraction of what you owe.

Some of Chapter 13 bankruptcy’s other features include allowing filers to:

• keep all property
• avoid foreclosure and vehicle repossession
• pay the fair market value for a car, and
• stop lawsuits, wage garnishments, and bank levies.

This revised edition covers all the latest changes in bankruptcy and is eco-friendly—we’ve moved many tables and forms online!
