When To File Under Chapter 13
Chapter 13 bankruptcy has some advantages over Chapter 7. While Chapter 7 allows for the discharge or removal of debts the individual cannot pay, it requires all unexempt assets to be sold off – including the debtor’s home in some cases. Under Chapter 13, the debtor does not need to have their home or other assets sold and is instead expected to make payments. For this reason, Chapter 13 is suited to those with a steady income.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy comes with certain advantages, including:
No income requirement
Assets that are collateral for debt do not have to be sold
The debtor does not interact with creditors directly and instead makes one monthly payment through the court-appointed trustee, who disburses the payment to creditors
Payment plans do not exceed five years
