Will Chapter 13 bankruptcy stop foreclosure?
Yes, when a Chapter 13 case is filed an automatic stay is instantly put into effect. The automatic stay is a federal law that stops all collection activity, including foreclosure sales already scheduled to occur.
Can I modify my car loan in Chapter 13?
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the borrower can have up to 5 years to pay off a car loan. This provides time to catch up on payments by spreading the past-due balance over essentially a new 60-month loan.
What is a Chapter 13 Payment Plan?
The payment plan outlines how debts will be paid in a Chapter 13 case. A plan usually requires the borrower to pay their disposable income for the next 3 to 5 years toward debts. If the borrower completes the plan, balances on credit cards and other unsecured debts at the end of the bankruptcy may be discharged.
Can I get a loan after Chapter 13?
Yes, some lenders will have no waiting period for new loans. On the other hand, the Federal Housing Administration (FHA) can require you to wait 24 months before being eligible for a new home mortgage.

Chapter 13 is especially beneficial to borrowers who are facing foreclosure and do not want to lose their home or other assets. When a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed in Florida it will immediately stop all foreclosure and other debt collection activities. Chapter 13 can even allow you to get your driver’s license reinstated if it has been suspended due to unpaid parking tickets. Furthermore, our bankruptcy lawyers have helped many clients discharge their debt under Chapter 13 after only paying creditors a small percentage of the amount owed.
When a borrower files for Chapter 13 they will be required to comply with a court supervised payment plan. The payment plan outlines how a borrower’s disposable income will be used to pay the debts included in the bankruptcy. Disposable income is calculated by deducting a borrower’s expenses and cost of living from the income they receive. The payment plan will usually require the borrower to pay all of their disposable income for the next 3 to 5 years toward the debts included in the bankruptcy. If the borrower complies with the terms of the bankruptcy any balance still due on credit cards and other unsecured debt at the end of the bankruptcy will be discharged.
To be eligible for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Florida you must meet the rigid requirements proscribed under bankruptcy law. To qualify for Chapter 13, your unsecured debts must be less than $383,175 and your secured debts must be less than $1,149,525. Secured debts are loans that have collateral, such as a car loans and mortgages. In addition, your payment plan must provide that your creditors receive as much as they would have if you filed for Chapter 7, instead of Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Determining eligibility for Chapter 13 can be complex and requires a thorough understanding of bankruptcy law. To see if you qualify for Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Florida contact us to speak with a Tampa bankruptcy lawyer at our firm.
