Chapter 13 bankruptcy provides relief only to individuals with regular income. This Chapter is most frequently used by debtors who have sufficient disposable monthly income to make some payments over time to their creditors. Chapter 13 debtors frequently have enough equity in their residence that, if they were to file for Chapter 7, the residence would likely be sold for payment to creditors. Often filed to stave off foreclosure, Chapter 13 allows debtors to save their homes and/or cars, which includes curing any past due payments and continuing to make monthly payments through a three- to five-year payment plan.
