chapter 13

A solution to financial problems

Chapter 13 may consolidate your debt into smaller payments you can afford.

Are you eligible?

You are if you file as an individual or as the owner of a small business unless you are a stockbroker or commodity broker.

Individuals

If you make enough income to support a three-to-five-year repayment plan and to cover a practical living budget, you can file for debt relief under Chapter 13.

Businesses

As a small business owner you must owe no more than $394,725.00 in unsecured and $1,184,200.00 in secured debts in order to file a Chapter 13 plan.  You must be able to repay at least part of these debts within three to five years under your Chapter 13 plan.

Filing a plan

You need the guidance of a lawyer to help you decide whether Chapter 13 is the right solution for you.  If it is, the attorney can prepare a plan, file it with the U.S.
