Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Philadelphia PA Lawer Office of Sharon S Masters

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 is known as a reorganization. Individuals who file a Chapter 13 usually are filing to protect and keep property that would have been at risk in a Chapter 7 case. Also, in a Chapter 13, you can repay mortgage arrears and restructure other types of debt that cannot be discharged in a Chapter 7. In a chapter 13 you can elect to retain or surrender certain collateral like cars and properties. Generally, you need to repay the secured and priority debts through a 3 to 5 year plan. The length of the plan is determined by the means test and other factors. Unsecured debt such as credit card debt may not have to be repaid or may be repaid cents on the dollar, depending on disposable income. A Chapter 13 is a very useful tool in repaying certain tax debt, since in many cases, penalties are treated as regular unsecured debt and may not have to be repaid. Also, if your property has been sold at a tax sale in Philadelphia, a Chapter 13 will allow you to pay the redemption amount over the 3 to 5-year plan and keep your property.
