Boston Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer
Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Information
Chapter 13 is a bankruptcy alternative for those who have too many assets to qualify for chapter 7, or do not choose that form of bankruptcy. The individuals who file for Chapter 13 typically have substantial assets (such as homes or vehicles) and a steady paycheck, either from employment or in income from self employment.
If you file for Chapter 13, you will be asked to formulate a creditor payment plan that allows you to affordably repay your debts over a period of time. Depending in your specific circumstances, you will pay back from 0% to 100% of the debt that you owe. Even if you end up paying back 100% of your debt, it is still preferable to paying your creditors outside of the bankruptcy process, as Chapter 13 enables you to pay off debts at an interest rate of 0%. A Boston bankruptcy lawyer should assist you in managing the process of filing Chapter 13, as the complexity of filing of a petition and providing all the necessary documentation and information can be extremely difficult and complex .
