What Can A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Do For Debtors?
Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can lift a significant burden off of debtors in Kentucky. A successful Chapter 13 bankruptcy can:
- Put an end to wage garnishments
- Prevent foreclosure/stop foreclosure
- Preserve equity in your home
- Enable you to catch up on mortgage payments
- Discharge a small percentage of your debt
- Reorganize your debt into a manageable repayment plan
- Enable you to have one monthly payment rather than multiple payments to different creditors
- Help you get back in control of your finances
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your debt is consolidated/reorganized into a debt repayment plan. Once the plan is approved by the bankruptcy court, you will make one monthly payment to a bankruptcy trustee who will then disburse payments to your creditors. Most repayment plans last for three to five years. The repayment plan also may include overdue mortgage payments – enabling you to keep your home and equity in your home while you regain control of your finances.
