Chapter 13
Macon Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer
Serving Georgians in Macon, Warner Robins & Central Georgia
Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides an alternative form of debt relief to those who do not qualify for a Chapter 7 filing or who have assets they wish to retain, such as their home and vehicles. This type of bankruptcy does not sell off any assets but becomes a kind of debt consolidation in which your debt is reorganized and repaid in a three to five-year period. This type of bankruptcy plan works well for those who have fallen behind on mortgages, car loans, or other secured debt as well as unsecured debt and who have a reliable income with which to repay some or all of their debt.

More About Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Georgia
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to propose an installment repayment plan to repay your creditors under the supervision of the court over the life of your plan. You will make one monthly affordable payment to the court during the plan. If your monthly income exceeds the median income for a household of your size, your plan will generally last for five years. If your income is lower than the median, it can last for three years.
You will wind up paying back anywhere from none to all of your unsecured debt depending on your disposable income. This means that, once your repayment plan is completed, whatever balance remains on your debts will be discharged. These debts can include credit card balances, medical debt, utility bills, personal loans, most lawsuit judgments, and more.
Non-Dischargeable Debts
Debts that cannot be discharged through this type of bankruptcy include child support and alimony payments, certain tax liabilities, missed payments on mortgages and vehicles, traffic tickets, student loans, and criminal penalties.
Benefits of Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 bankruptcy has many benefits, especially for those with mortgage and car loan arrearages that can be paid off through the plan.
Benefits include:
- You can avoid or prevent a foreclosure on your home
- You can catch up on past-due mortgage payments through the repayment plan
- You can restructure your debt through a reorganization that can lower your payments
- Once you file, creditors are prohibited from collection efforts through an “automatic stay” by the court
