Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

 

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is sometimes referred to as a "repayment" plan because debtors pay some or all of their unsecured debts (interest free) over a 3-5 year plan. Your payment is based on what you can afford to pay (income minus expenses).

How we can help

Our experienced attorneys will help you choose the best debt and foreclosure relief option and make the process as simple as possible. In addition to bankruptcy, our attorneys may suggest other beneficial choices such as:

​

 

Debt settlement 

 

This may include negotiating with your lender for a lower payment or interest rate, negotiating a lower principal balance for a second deed of trust, or wiping out a second deed of trust that has become unsecured after a decrease in property value. We may also help you obtain real property financing to refinance and repay the original mortgage, depending on the circumstances.

 

 

Credit repair

 

By filing for bankruptcy, modifying loans and settling debt, consumers can stop late payments and begin to rebuild their credit over time. Because lender errors can also harm credit, our attorneys help borrowers combat inaccuracies in credit reports and rebuild their credit scores.
