Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
There are many reasons why you would decide to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Some of those reasons may be:
•You do not qualify for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy due to your high income
•You want to save your house from foreclosure
•You want to save your car from repossession
A Chapter 13 bankruptcy will generally allow you to consolidate all your debts, such as unsecured debts and if applicable, delinquent mortgage and/or vehicle payments, into a payment plan. However, in order to qualify for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must have a steady income that is sufficient enough to pay for your living expenses, as well as your Chapter 13 payment plan. In the event that you are unable to provide proof to the court that you can sustain paying both living expenses and a Chapter 13 payment plan, the court will deny your request.
