Filing under Chapter 13 may be better for you if:
You are late on your mortgage or automobile loan, and you want to get current with these payments and keep your property, you can do this under a Chapter 13 plan.
A large percentage of your debt involves unpaid federal taxes, and you have the ability to repay them over time, a Chapter 13 will probably be more beneficial for you than a Chapter 7.
You have a lot of nonexempt property - property which you would have to give up to your creditors were you to file a Chapter 7 - Chapter 13 may allow you to keep this property.
You have received a Chapter 7 discharge within the previous eight years, you cannot file another Chapter 7 for eight years.
You had your spouse or parent cosign on an auto or other personal loan for you prior to your filing, a Chapter 7 won't protect your cosigner, and your creditor could go after your family member for the full amount of your debt. Under Chapter 13, your cosigner will be fully protected from your creditors as long as you make your payments under your repayment plan.
Although you can't discharge your student loans in a Chapter 7 discharge, you can include them in your Chapter 13 repayment plan and repay them over time.
Filing under Chapter 7 may be better for you if:
Most of your debts are unsecured including credit card bills, medical bills, payday loans and signature loans.
Exemptions vary by state but typically include your residence, certain items of personal property, tools and work equipment and your vehicle.
More often than not, your exemptions may protect many of your assets. If not, your court-appointed trustee will ask to begin liquidation proceedings to pay your creditors
In many cases, however, the trustee will only liquidate if he can obtain enough money from a sale to make a significant payment to your creditors. If creditors are paid or a settlement reached, your debts are permanently wiped out.
