WHEN IS CHAPTER 13 A GOOD IDEA?
If you are struggling with debt but earn a steady income, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the best option for achieving debt relief. Your debt problems should be significant, such as falling behind on mortgage payments and not being able to catch up.
Why Chapter 13 Bankruptcy May Be The Right Choice
Filing for bankruptcy under Chapter 13 of the Bankruptcy Code allows you to keep your assets and pay back your creditors over time. In many cases, debtors are able to set up a payment plan that may repay your debt in three to five years.
Depending on your individual situation, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy could involve:
- Getting out from under a second mortgage you can’t afford
- Eliminating cumbersome IRS fees and penalties
- Keeping assets you could have otherwise lost by filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy
- Stopping the foreclosure of your home and repossession of your car
- Surrendering certain property, if that makes sense for your situation
Purchasing a home or refinancing an existing mortgage is a goal for many clients after they have been discharged from or completed a bankruptcy plan.

Before filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it is important to get all the information you can about the process. At the Law Offices of K. Hunter Goff, P.A., I am here to answer any questions you may have about Chapter 13 bankruptcy and other debt relief options.
HOW LONG WILL MY REPAYMENT PLAN LAST?
A Chapter 13 payment plan lasts between three and five years. The amount of time your plan lasts depends upon your income, the amount of debt to be paid off and other factors.
WILL CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY HELP ME SAVE MY HOME?
Filing for bankruptcy stops home foreclosures, sheriff’s sales and other collection actions. If you are behind on your mortgage payments, Chapter 13 allows you to consolidate them with other debts and pay them back in a payment plan. In order to keep your home, the court must approve your payment plan and you must be able to keep up with your monthly payments going forward.
