A chapter 13 bankruptcy, unlike a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, does not provide a release of debt, but rather a restructuring of the debt in a manner which is considered manageable to repay the dept.
Many times the debt to be paid back may be less that currently owed through negotiation. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a debtor proposes a repayment plan to the creditors, over a 3 to 5 year period, in a good faith proposal to pay off all or part of the debts from the debtor's future income.
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy can:
- Prevent the foreclosure of a home;
- Make up delinquent car or mortgage payments;
- Pay back taxes;
- Stop interest from accruing on your tax debt (local, Florida state, or federal);
- Keep valuable property which is non-exempt in a bankruptcy;
- And manage other financial situations which may be affected by a Chapter 13 bankruptcy proceeding.
Creditors often will work with debtors in a chapter 13 bankruptcy, as chapter 13 provides the opportunity to recover funds from you, as apposed to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy where the ability to recover the debt may be eliminated.
Those who are more likely to file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy are individuals who seek to hold on to possessions such as a home, multiple vehicles, or other property or assets.
