Avoiding Home Foreclosure With Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Even if you are behind on your payments to your home mortgage lender, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide the relief you need. With a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you may repay any past-due mortgage debt gradually over the course of a three- to five-year Chapter 13 debt repayment plan. To be eligible for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must have a regular source of income that will allow you to make monthly payments toward your Chapter 13 plan.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy has additional benefits that may provide critical debt relief:
- While you must repay secured debts for property you wish to keep (e.g., your home or car), unsecured debts are treated in a different fashion. With your Chapter 13 plan, you are required to pay only what you can afford to pay (as determined by the bankruptcy court) toward unsecured debts. Any amount of your unsecured debt that you show you are unable to pay, and which are dischargeable under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code, may be discharged upon completion of your Chapter 13 plan.
- You may be able to strip a second mortgage lien if the value of your home is less than what you owe on your original home loan. The second home loan may then be treated as an unsecured debt and may potentially be discharged as part of your Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
Let us put our experience to work for you. We have helped thousands of clients who were facing difficult debt problems. If bankruptcy is not right for you, we may be able to provide relief through a loan modification, short sale or another debt relief measure.
