A hardship discharge is granted to help a debtor who cannot complete a Chapter 13 debt repayment plan for reasons that are completely outside the debtor's control. It will not be granted to debtors who cause their own difficulties, such as debtors who quit their jobs while making payments in a Chapter 13 plan.
