Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
The Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Breakdown
Of the two main types of personal bankruptcy, Chapter 13 bankruptcy generally offers the broadest, most sweeping protections for you and your property.
Chapter 13 works with the courts to consolidate, order and, in some cases, reduce your debts. Then, instead of juggling your bills and creditors, you will make one monthly payment to your court-appointed trustee who will handle all of your creditors.

This process may put a stop to foreclosure, repossession, lawsuits and creditor harassment. For the duration of your repayment plan, typically 3-5 years, you'll have the breathing room and protection that allow you to eliminate your debt.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be a good option for those who:
- Have debt that is the result of a temporary financial setback, like a job loss, injury or illness.
- Own lots of property - such as houses, land, cars, professional equipment - that they want to entirely protect.
