What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 bankruptcy is also referred to as a wage earner’s plan. The process enables individuals who have a regular income to develop a plan to repay all part or all of their debts. The amount to be paid by the debtor is determined by several factors including his or her disposable income as determined by the Texas Means Test.
Is Chapter 13 Worth It?
Chapter 13 offers a good alternative for people who are ineligible to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, or who want to avoid the liquidation of their assets. One of the most significant advantages of filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that a debtor is not required to sell his or her assets to pay off debt.
Additional benefits of filing for Chapter 13 include:
- Reducing debts so you only have to pay a fraction of the debt
- Consolidating debts so you have one monthly payment
- Preventing home foreclosure
- Making up missed car or mortgage payments to avoid repossession
- Paying back your taxes
- Stopping late fees from accruing on your debts
Although debtors are required to pay back some of their debt under Chapter 13, if they can keep to the terms of the repayment agreement, all remaining dischargeable debts can be released at the end of the plan.
