Most of the clients I meet with initially tell me that they want to file a #Chapter 7 #bankruptcy or else they won't file. Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, is a four-month process where as a #Chapter 13 case can last from 36-60 months.
Many clients have a friend who has filed a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and has started over quickly and the client wants to do the same. The problem is that not every person’s life and circumstances are the same. I have yet to meet a single client who has the identical situation that another client has.
A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy is a government-sponsored #debt #consolidation plan. Contrary to popular belief, most chapter 13 debtors do not have to pay their debts in full. In fact, a super majority do not. You make payments back to a chapter 13 trustee based on your ability to pay.
There are a few reasons why you should consider filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy vs. a Chapter 7.
REASON 1: INCOME
The truth is not every person can file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. The whole idea and policy behind bankruptcy are if you have the ability to make a payment to your creditors you should.
REASON 2: ASSETS
A Chapter 13 Trustee does not exercise control over the debtor’s assets in a Chapter 13 like a Chapter 7 trustee does. A Chapter 7 trustee has the right to SELL your property that that isn't covered by your exemptions. If you want a 100% guarantee that you can keep your home and assets then you should take a closer look at Chapter 13.
REASON 3: MORTGAGE OR VEHICLE ARREARS
The call comes in.....the client is frantic.....”I have a foreclosure sale on my home on Tuesday and I can’t pay the mortgage company what do I do?”.
Or, the call comes in.........”they repossessed my car, and I need it for work, what do I do?”.
If a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is filed in either of these instances, relief is somewhat temporary. First, a foreclosure sale can be stopped by filing a Chapter 7 but the Chapter 7 Bankruptcy does nothing to cure the arrears and solve the underlying problem. The Chapter 7 Bankruptcy filing only provides a temporary solution. If a car is already repossessed, once the Chapter 7 is filed, the lender is barred from auctioning the vehicle off but we can’t force the creditor to return the vehicle.
However, in a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, relief is more than temporary. Not only can filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy stop a foreclosure sale, the plan provides a way in which the mortgage arrears can be paid back to the lender over the life of the plan.
With a vehicle, if the vehicle is already repossessed, the vehicle must be returned to the debtor and the vehicle loan is paid through the plan.
