Foreclosure

Chapter 13 Stops Foreclosures

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a legal process that allows individuals with regular income to reorganize their debts and create a repayment plan. Unlike Chapter 7, Chapter 13 focuses on debt repayment over three to five years. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to use such a payment plan to pay off mortgage arrearages. Essentially, Chapter 13 stops foreclosures.

Using Chapter 13 to Come Current With Mortgage Payments

Unlike a Chapter 7, a Chapter 13 provides the mechanism for a debtor to come current with overdue mortgage payments. But beware! If you lack regular monthly income and you refuse to curb your expenses, a competent Arizona bankruptcy lawyer will advise that Chapter 13 may end up being a waste of time and money.
