HOW A CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY CAN HELP YOU


Everyone experiences phases with a temporary gap in income; but by the time you’ve gotten yourself together, the high interest rates, the late fees and overdue payments have piled up. Often, it seems impossible to recover. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a legal option that lets you get a structured debt repayment plan. Going this route can also help you stop foreclosure proceedings, retain over-exempt assets, and even discharge certain debts. A Chapter 13 Fort Lauderdale bankruptcy attorney can help you navigate through the whole process to ease your transition into your debt recovery.

Reorganize Your Debts

Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 bankruptcy doesn’t involve the liquidation of assets. Chapter 13 bankruptcy restructures your debts and provides an affordable repayment plan over a three to five year period, depending on your income and ability to pay. Any debts remaining at the end of the Chapter 13 repayment plan are discharged, just like in Chapter 7. Chapter 13 also stops home foreclosure, eviction, wage garnishment, reposses-sions and the continuous harassment by creditors.

    What is the better option between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

    There is no common answer as each bankruptcy case is unique. There are different factors at play such as the types of debt you are dealing with, the assets you want to keep, and your ability to generate income and pay your debts. Generally, however, if you have minimal as-sets and low income, Chapter 7 is probably the better option. If you have assets you want to protect, and your income demonstrates an ability to repay some or all of your debt, then Chapter 13 may be the best option. Either way, it is better to consult with an experi-enced Florida bankruptcy lawyer at The McCue Law Firm, before taking any action.
