Stopping Foreclosure By Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy will automatically halt foreclosure proceedings as long as the bankruptcy is filed before the foreclosure sale takes place. Chapter 13 is designed to give you a customized repayment plan that is within your budget. You also retain the option of selling or refinancing your home and completing the bankruptcy program early.
Chapter 13 gives you a significant period of time to stabilize your finances, catch up on your mortgage payments and stay in your home. The idea behind the Chapter 13 repayment plan is that you will be current on your mortgage payments at the end of the plan, plus your unsecured debt, like credit cards and medical bills, will be eliminated. You will then have the clean slate you need to begin moving forward in life.
The additional major benefits of Chapter 13 plan are that once you file, no more default interest accumulates and most importantly, you get to stay in your home.
