Understanding Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

When it comes to bankruptcy, you have multiple options to consider. Chapter 13 is one such option. At Kryshak Law Office, LLC, we’ve helped a lot of people with Chapter 13 bankruptcy, and we’ll be happy to help you navigate the process.


With Chapter 13, you can start a debt repayment plan without interest over three to five years. To do this, all your debts are consolidated. You’ll make monthly payments to a trustee, and that trustee will issue payments as necessary to your creditors.


The amount of your payments and the length of your plan will vary. These factors are determined by your income and overall expenses. In some cases, you may not be required to repay all your debts in full. When this happens, any remaining debts at the end of your plan are discharged. However, for debt to be eliminated, it must be eligible. Debts like student loans, recent tax debt, and child or spousal support are not able to be discharged.


Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy is not a quick fix. You should always go into this process with your eyes wide open. That’s why having Kryshak Law Office, LLC as your legal team can help. We’ll explain the process, assess your finances, and help you make the best decisions for you and your family.


You can learn more with a free consultation. Same-day and emergency appointments are available. We offer flexible payment options with fixed flat rates, hourly fees, and payment plans. Call us today!

FAQs About Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

  • Why should I file for Chapter 13 and not Chapter 7?

    In many ways, Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a better option. It gives you more flexibility and a quicker path to financial freedom. However, not everyone is eligible for Chapter 7. If you make too much money, you may not qualify. Moreover, if you have already filed for Chapter 7 in the past eight years, you won’t be able to do it again.


    You may also want to file for Chapter 13 if you are behind on your mortgages or car loans. If you are facing foreclosure or repossession, then Chapter 13 is your best way out. Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to keep up with your current payments and make payments on any past-due balances. In this way, you can keep your property and get current on your mortgage or car loan.


    Another reason you may prefer Chapter 13 bankruptcy is tax debt. Some tax debts can’t be discharged through Chapter 7. With Chapter 13, you can repay that debt over a period of three to five years.


    Finally, you may want to choose Chapter 13 to keep any non-exempt property. If you have a large amount of valuable property, Chapter 7 may require you to give up that property. With Chapter 13, you can keep that property while getting a handle on your debt.

  • Who qualifies for Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

    To qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you need a regular source of income. This is needed to make your payments to the trustee. You must also have enough money to cover your living expenses. If you don’t have this income, you may still be eligible for Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

  • What protections are available under Chapter 13?

    When you file for Chapter 13, you get most of the same protections as you would when filing for Chapter 7. As soon as you file, an automatic stay goes into effect. This stops creditor harassment, and it can stop creditors from taking any action to collect your debt. Filing for Chapter 13 also protects you from foreclosure, repossession, and other types of lawsuits. To learn about other advantages, call Kryshak Law Office, LLC today. We’ll explore the pros and cons with you.

  • What fees are associated with Chapter 13 bankruptcy?

    Chapter 13 bankruptcies incur higher fees than a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This is mostly because your legal case will last up to five years. All bankruptcies are complex and technical, and they will incur fees. Your fees will vary, and we offer flexibility at Kryshak Law Office, LLC. Our fees are low, and we have payment plans available to make the process more manageable. The initial consultation is always free. The decision to pursue bankruptcy isn’t easy, and we’ll be there for you every step of the way. We provide personal service with a hands-on touch, and we’ll always be there to answer your questions about Chapter 13 bankruptcy and other legal concerns.

Filing bankruptcy to me is very complex in nature. Anthony rescued me from an outfit in Milwaukee that was going to have me making payment plans for five years. He was very attentive to my questions and concerns, sometimes answering the same questions more than once without losing his patience.
