Los Angeles Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 is a reorganization bankruptcy
Chapter 13 is a "reorganization" bankruptcy. Although it can be used in a variety of different ways to solve your debt problems, it is primarily used when someone has fallen behind with their mortgage payments and they are trying to "catch up"and become current again.
For example, a homeowner's regular monthly mortgage payment is $2,000 a month. They are 4 months behind, so they need $8,000 to get caught up. Chapter 13 simply divides the $8,000 by 60 months (a 5 year bankruptcy repayment plan) to equal a repayment plan of $133.33 a month. That's it. You now restart sending your regular monthly mortgage payment of $2,000 to your mortgage lender, and an additional check of $133.33 to the bankruptcy court who will forward the check to the mortgage lender. If you want a shorter plan, such as 3 years, just divide by 36 months in the example above and your plan payment would be $222.22 a month.
