Overview Chapter 13 bankruptcy

Bankruptcy sought by the Detroit bankruptcy attorneys are divided into two categories: Chapter 7 or 13. A bankruptcy lawyer in Detroit can help you understand the difference between these two levels.

Chapter 13 petitions known as “reorganization bankruptcy” or “wage earner plan.” Under this plan, the debtor must repay some or all of its debt, while under the protection and control of the bankruptcy court. In 2005 Congress passed the Bankruptcy Abuse and Consumer Protection Act which made it harder to file Chapter 7, or “absolute failure” and add more filers into Chapter 13 plans. Complaints must now undergo a “means test” which compares their median annual income in their state median income to determine their eligibly file Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. When a debtor has paid all debts in a Chapter 13 plan as directed by the court, the remainder of its debt discharged.

Specific criteria must be met before an application for Chapter 13 bankruptcy:

Repossessed Vehicles Must Be Returned to Debtor upon Filing Chapter 13

By: Michael Vanunu
St. John’s Law Student
American Bankruptcy Institute Law Review Staff
 
It is not uncommon for a chapter 13 debtor to file for bankruptcy after certain assets have already been repossessed.  This leaves the courts in the position of having to decide whether a particular creditor can continue to hold the asset it has repossessed, or must return it to the bankruptcy estate. Recently, in a case of first impression for the circuit, the Seventh Circuit, in Thompson v. General Motors Acceptance Corp.,[1] was called upon to determine whether an asset lawfully seized pre-petition must be returned to the estate after debtor files for chapter 13 bankruptcy, and if so, whether the asset must be returned even without a showing by the debtor that he can adequately protect the creditor’s interest.[2] In the case, Thompson had his car repossessed by General Motors Acceptance Corp (“GMAC”), a secured creditor.  A few days later Thompson filed for chapter 13, and sought the return of his vehicle from GMAC through the automatic stay provision of § 362(a)(3), which provides that “a petition filed [for bankruptcy] . . . operates as a stay . . . of any act to obtain possession of property of the estate . . . or to exercise control over property of the estate.”[3] GMAC refused because it claimed that Thompson could not adequately protect its interest.[4]

Advantages of Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 Foreclosure

Those who decide to file for bankruptcy you find that there are different types that may be made. To a person, Chapter 7, by far the most popular application in the country. There is a good reason why Chapter 7 is the most popular type of bankruptcy in. And it is because it allows them to get rid of almost all its debts and restart their economic life again almost from scratch. Unfortunately, this type of failure of certain financial limits that must be met in order to file. If you do not meet the economic criteria, you feel like being forced to file under Chapter 13, which is actually more of a structural reform plan that actually & # xE0; discharge your debt. On the other hand, other consumers would feel better to registration under Chapter 13. Especially if they have a number of assets. Its main advantage is that you keep all your belongings when you are under bankruptcy protection. And there are also other advantages. First, although Chapter 13 does not discharge all your debts, it can reduce the amount of debt that we owe some of them. For example, suppose that in 2009 you purchased a new car, a Nissan Sentra for $ 20,000. But a year after the car is only worth $ 13,000, although I still have $ 18,000 on it. If you apply for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can possibly reduce the amount of debt of $ 13,000, that is, the actual resale value of your car at the time of filing. In addition, we have the conditions for payment be renegotiated to make it easier for you to pay. This is because the main purpose of Chapter 13 is to remain solvent so that they are unable to pay creditors and # xE4; earlier in terms renegotiated. Cars are just one example. And fine with this type of failure is that it allows to reduce the debt that you owe on a large number of objects whose LEFT RDE is no longer worth as much as when you bought them. So really you can have reduced total debt of thousands of dollars. This type of record that helps in another way as well. It will give you more time to pay has forgotten that a creditor. So, for example, if you had bought a few sets of furniture for different rooms of your home and you’re behind on your payments, this may hj & # xE4; LpA you. bankruptcy reorganization may take the total amount of late payments and put them in the next three to five years, making it much easier to pay them. It makes it easier to pay its debts and at the same time maintain the solvency is really what Chapter 13 is about.
