Bankruptcy under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code is sometimes referred to as a "wage earner plan." Under Chapter 13, a Bankruptcy Court can help a debtor reorganize his debts and pay them off over time. Under Chapter 13, a debtor typically keeps all of his or her property. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is available to individuals with less than $336,900.00 in unsecured debt and $1,010,650.00 in secured debt.
If you can't catch up on your mortgage or property taxes and if you are in jeopardy of losing your home, filing Chapter 13 can help you. In Chapter 13 you can keep your property, and you'll have up to five years to catch up on your mortgage and pay your back property taxes. Learn how you can pay your back mortgage payments and taxes over five years and KEEP YOUR HOME!
Every case is different and requires that information from that individual be reviewed and discussed with a competent bankruptcy attorney. Under no circumstances, however, should you construe this as legal advice or an agreement to provide legal services without an explicit written agreement between this firm and you.
