The Chapter 13 Plan must: provide for payments of fixed amounts to the trustee on a regular basis, typically monthly. provide for the full payment of all claims entitled to priority under section 507 such as taxes and child support (unless the holder of a particular claim agrees to different treatment of a claim)
Items that can be exempt include sporting equipment, up to two firearms, family heirlooms, home furnishings, animals, clothing and food, burial plots, health aids, health savings accounts, and jewelry (limited to one-quarter of the exemption).
Also do not not incur debt, use credit, credit cards, or enter into leases while in Chapter 13 without Bankruptcy Court approval, except in the case of an emergency for the protection and preservation of life, health or property. Contact your attorney if you need to sell property or incur debt.
Although a Chapter 13 bankruptcy stays on your record for years, missed debt payments, defaults, repossessions, and lawsuits will also hurt your credit and may be more complicated to explain to a future lender than bankruptcy.
A Chapter 13 petition for bankruptcy will likely necessitate a $500 to $600 monthly payment, especially for debtors paying at least one automobile through the payment plan. However, since the bankruptcy court will consider a large number of factors, this estimate could vary greatly.
Who can file for Chapter 13? People above the median income must file under Chapter 13 unless most of their debt is business debt. It is presumed that if someone over-income files Chapter 7, they are abusing the system. For people below the median income, there is no presumption of abuse.
