Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Palatine Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Lawyer

 

Stop Foreclosure: Protecting Your Home and Assets With Debt Relief

If you are a homeowner, a Chapter 13 may be your best option if you are seeking to prevent the foreclosure of your home, stop collection proceedings, and protect your assets. At The Law Offices of James M. Kelly, we assist individuals and families in and around Palatine, Illinois, who need relief from overwhelming amounts of debt. With more than 25 years of legal experience, our goal is to help you regain control of your financial situation through bankruptcy.

What Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Those who do not satisfy the median income or means test of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy can still seek debt relief under Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In Chapter 13, all unsecured debts are reorganized into one monthly payment that must be paid for the next three to five years. After the payment period is up, any remaining debt is discharged.

Chapter 13 is designed for those who still have good sources of income but whose debts have become insurmountable. It allows debtors to retain some control over their finances and also make good on their obligations. In most cases, they can also stop foreclosure on their homes and retain their possessions.
