Book Description
Stop creditors and get more time to pay. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops creditors, lawsuits, wage garnishments, bank levies, and other collection actions immediately, giving you time to restructure your debts. Yes, you’ll pay into a three- or five-year repayment plan in Chapter 13. 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, medical, and utility bills, usually receive only a fraction of what you owe. Also, Chapter 13 offers unique debt solutions not available in Chapter 7, sometimes making Chapter 13 the better choice even for those who qualify for Chapter 7. For instance, only in Chapter 13 can filers do the following: keep all property avoid foreclosure and vehicle repossession pay the fair market value for a car, and in some cases, eliminate a junior mortgage loan. This plain-English Chapter 13 guide covers the Chapter 13 process from start to finish, explaining how to determine if you qualify for Chapter 13, what’s required to catch up on your mortgage and keep your home, and how to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy. You’ll also learn more about the following: how much you’ll pay in a repayment plan which debts get erased when the case ends, and how to find and hire the right lawyer The revised edition explains where to find legal updates, bankruptcy forms, and state-specific information.

Saving Your Home in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Book Description
"This paper examines how filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 helps financially distressed debtors save their homes. Filing under Chapter 13 stops lenders from foreclosing and gives debtors extra time to repay mortgage arrears, but does not reduce the total amount owed. We develop a model of debtors' decisions to default on their mortgages and file for bankruptcy and we evaluate it using a new dataset of debtors who filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 in 2006. We also examine the effect of allowing "strip-down" of residential mortgages in Chapter 13, so that bankruptcy judges could reduce the total amount owed. The paper documents that 96% of Chapter 13 filers are homeowners and that more than 90% of Chapter 13 plans involve repayment of mortgages or car loans. The model predicts that introducing strip-down would allow an additional 100,000 debtors to save their homes each year"--National Bureau of Economic Research web site
