Chapter 13 is a Section of the Bankruptcy Code which enables qualified individuals and small business owners to retain their assets and consolidate all or a portion of their debt under a Chapter 13 Plan payable over three to five years.
The Debtor must make a single monthly plan payment to the bankruptcy trustee throughout the duration of the plan, and the bankruptcy trustee distributes the plan payment among all of the Debtor's Creditors in amounts and priorities specified in the plan.
Surplus income is all income received by the Debtor and his or her spouse that is not reasonably necessary for the support of the Debtor and the Debtor's dependents.

KEEPING YOUR VEHICLE IN CHAPTER 7 IF IT IS PAID FOR - You can file Chapter 7 and retain a vehicle that is paid for depending on how much the vehicle is worth, and who is listed on the title.
The present exemption in Utah is only $3,000 per person for one motor vehicle, so if your vehicle is paid for but worth more than $3,000, you might lose it to a Bankruptcy Trustee.
Big no-no is to sell or transfer a vehicle or other asset out of your name prior to filing.
You could, however, sell it in an arms-length transaction for what it's actually worth.
