A Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing is a highly structured choice, designed to protect your assets when Chapter 7 is not sufficient. Let Thomas Betker of Betker Bankruptcy Law of Saint Joseph, MI, help you decide which filing works best for you.
Because Chapter 13 is often a more drawn out process than Chapter 7, you will make weekly or monthly payments to a trustee, who then disperses the money to your creditors. The payments, usually a percentage of what is owed, keep your non-exempt assets out of your creditors' hands and keep you from having to pay interest on your unsecured debt.
- To protect your home from foreclosure by catching up on delinquent mortgage payments or real estate taxes
- To protect your vehicle by restructuring high-payment loans or high-interest loans, or by paying off balances that exceed the value of your vehicle
- To obtain a discharge of unsecured debt when your income is too high to qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
Let us apply our 17 years of bankruptcy experience to help you through the complicated situations you face.
