Chapter 13.
Chapter 13 is a valuable tool that lets you catch up overdue mortgage or car payments, taxes and domestic support obligations.
It also applies where you have the ability to repay some or all of your debts over time.
Under Chapter 13, you normally keep all of your property, both exempt and non-exempt, as long as you resume (or continue)
making your regular payments on secured debts, and keep current under the repayment plan required by the bankruptcy laws.
This plan may pay all of your debts, or just a portion; this will depend on your particular circumstances. A repayment plan
can from three to five years.
After completing your plan payments, most balances of your unsecured debts are discharged, except for some things like
taxes, student loans, support or other non-dischargeable debts.
