How Does Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Work?

Chapter 13 is often the best option for people who have some ability to pay back debts or for those who do not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Chapter 13 reorganizes all of your debt into one manageable monthly payment. The amount you pay depends on your income and whether any exemptions apply to you. Once the court determines the amount, you make payments for three to five years. After that, you will be caught up on secured obligations, like your mortgage, and any remaining unsecured debt is eliminated.
