Frequently Asked Question #5

   

Why do people file a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Generally, people file chapter 13 if they have valuable property not covered by an exemption, like a home or car, but want to keep this property. If a debtor is behind on secured loan payments a chapter 13 bankruptcy can allow the debtor to make up these payments over time while keeping the home or car.

If you still have questions you can schedule a free consultation with a bankruptcy attorney.
