LOOKING FOR A CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY ATTORNEY?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is different from Chapter 7. In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, the debtor's unexempt property is sold and used to pay off their debts. In a Chapter 13 case, the debtor enters a court-protected repayment plan. They pay off a portion of their debts under the supervision of the bankruptcy court, typically over the course of three to five years. Under the court's protection, creditors can't charge interest or penalties during the payment plan. When they successfully complete your Chapter 13 bankruptcy payment plan, the court will discharge all of their remaining debt. Brad Stephens is an experienced bankruptcy attorney who has assisted clients in filing Chapter 13 for over ten years. He assists clients in Cartersville, GA as well as the surrounding areas.

For example, if your current monthly income is greater than the median income for a household of your size in Cartersville, GA, you may not be eligible for Chapter 7. Also, if you have a certain amount of disposable income after subtracting expenses, you may not be eligible for Chapter 7. A Means Test will calculate which plan you are eligible for. A Means Test is used to determine whether you qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy or what you must pay unsecured creditors in Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
