Debt Reorganization in Chapter 13 A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, allows your debts to be consolidated into one low monthly payment where you will probably only pay back 10% of your debt. This payment will typically last 5 years. When your payments are done, your debt will be gone. A Chapter 13 may be the right option for you if:

You are looking to save a home or vehicle from foreclosure or repossession Your main concern is taxes, child, support, or tickets You want to pay your debt back A chapter 13 will catch you up on your mortgage arrears, and if your are underwater on your house we can often get rid of your second mortgage.

Choose Chapter 13 vs. Debt Consolidation/Debt Settlements? Debt consolidators are everywhere and would have you think your solution lies with them. Sadly, a lot of them are scams and can do more damage than good to your credit. Debt consolidation has several drawbacks:

Tax consequences: Debt settled becomes taxable income to you Creditors are not forced by the law to accept your settlement Debt settlement takes years In all circumstances, debt settlement is more expensive than a bankruptcy Bankruptcy has no affect on your taxes at all, forces all creditors to participate, can be done in as little as 3 months and will often cost less than 5% of your total debt.
