What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we will help you create a payment plan with your creditors that will outline how you will pay back a portion of your debt over a three to five-year period. The plan will be based on your income and expenses, so you will still be able to afford your necessary expenses each month. After the repayment period is over, the remainder of your qualifying debt will be discharged. Debts that are eligible for discharge under Chapter 13 are as follows:
- Credit card debt
- Consumer debt
- Other unsecured debts
- Medical bills
- Department store cards
- Cell phone bills
The Automatic Stay
At Sobti Law Group, we know that Chapter 13 bankruptcy is an effective option for people who want to prevent foreclosure. When you file, an automatic stay prevents creditors from trying to collect what you owe and provides you with time to modify your home loan.
