Chapter 13 bankruptcy helps individuals to keep many of their secured debts, such as houses, real estate, vehicles, etc., even if they are behind on payments . Chapter 13 bankruptcy helps individuals to satisfy the demands of their creditors by establishing a feasible payment plan for a given period of time (~60 months). Once this plan has been finalized, a stop will be issued to cease all solicitations for bad debts through what is known as the automatic stay. After the obligations specified in the plan have been satisfied, all outstanding unsecured debts that were specified in the bankruptcy will be cleared. One of the great benefits of Chapter 13 bankruptcy is that it prevents repossession of many essential secured debts such as your house and vehicle if necessary.
