Will Bankruptcy Hurt My Credit and Prevent Me From Buying Another House?

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!

A landlord may also need to consult with a good Arizona bankruptcy lawyer to prevent a tenant’s bankruptcy from delaying the eviction process.
