How Does Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Work?

With a Chapter 13 debt consolidation plan, the debtor repays a percentage of the debt they owe, usually at 0% interest. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows the debtor to create a plan to repay all or a portion of their debts over a three to five year time period through monthly payments they can reasonably afford.

Some of the benefits of Chapter 13 bankruptcy include:

  • Can be used to avoid or prevent foreclosure
  • You can catch up on overdue mortgage payments while staying current with the obligations included in the repayment plan
  • You can restructure the repayment of debts to a new schedule, which might reduce the payments over time
  • Chapter 13 can help protect third parties who share liability (such as co-signers)
  • Creditors are prohibited from starting or continuing any type of collection efforts during the repayment plan

When you create a repayment plan to repay your debts to creditors, it must include all of your priority debts, unsecured debts, secured debts, and any back payments for your home or car if you are keeping the property. The monthly payments are based on how much disposable income you have, while the plan depends on if your current monthly income is higher than the median for your household size in your state. If your income is higher, then your plan can last five years. If it is lower, your plan can be three years.
