Let’s talk BENEFITS of filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.
First and foremost, once you have filed your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, just as the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, the court will notify your creditors and the Automatic Stay goes into order! One of the upmost important benefits from filing a Chapter 13 as well as a Chapter 7, is the Automatic Stay. This protection under the U.S. Federal Bankruptcy law, announces the ban of any creditor you have listed on your bankruptcy filing to further pursue you in any form of collections. No more harassing phone calls at home or work! This will also stop any legal proceedings in their tracks. This means foreclosure sales and auctions are stopped immediately. Wage garnishments are also ceased. Any lawsuit you are involved in is paused. The stay stops everything and gives you a chance to breath and get your finances organized.
What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
It is a reorganization of your debt and finances. As little as (3) three to (5) five years you can be debt free, paying off your credit card debt, medical bills, collections and other unsecured debt with no interest. Yes, that’s correct, no interest. The interest that creditors have been charging you will no longer be. Imagine no interest, a plan that helps you deal with your obligations best. Of course, this plan calculation will take in consideration how much you can afford to pay back on a monthly basis. Won’t that be great? (1) one monthly payment throughout the duration of your approved Chapter 13 Bankruptcy plan. Here’s one thing that is not always said. Only creditors who respond and file a claim will be included in the plan. If they do not reply in the allotted time, in most cases this debt is forgiven and not included in the plan. Upside for you? It’s less you will be obligated to pay back to a given creditor. While it may not happen for you, I did a case where less than $20.00 filed claims. That is not a typo, twenty dollars. The payments were done before they even barely got started.
A summary how the plan is shaped to work for you?
The plan will be administered by the U. S. Federal Bankruptcy appointed Trustee on your behalf. You simply will make 1 monthly payment over the course of your plan, directly to your court appointed Trustee. The trustee collects your payment as agreed and administers a percentage to your creditors. It’s that simple and no interest paid back, lowering your debt overall!

You may even lower a car payment or two.
In a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in certain situations you only have to pay back what the asset is worth and not what you owe. So if you have a car that is worth $10,000 and you owe $20,000, it may be possible to only pay back $10,000. Based on the savings, it is like paying for your car and getting the bankruptcy filed for you for free.
