Bankruptcy comes in different types. When a person is filing for bankruptcy, it can be important for them to pick the type that is the best fit for them. Some people find Chapter 13 bankruptcy to be a good fit.
There are many things that can impact whether Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be a good debt relief option for a given person.
One is whether they meet the requirements for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. This bankruptcy type is not available to all debtors. Having too much overall debt or not having a steady income are among the things that can make it so Chapter 13 bankruptcy isn’t an available option.
Another thing that can impact how good of a fit a Chapter 13 bankruptcy would be for a given person with debt struggles is what they want to achieve in the bankruptcy.
There are certain aims that Chapter 13 bankruptcy can sometimes be particularly well-suited for trying to achieve. One such aim is the aim of not losing one’s home in the face of mortgage struggles. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy repayment plan can sometimes be structured to get a person back on track with their mortgage payments, which could potentially provide a person with a long-term solution to avoiding foreclosure.
