Reasons to Consider Filing Chapter Thirteen to Stop FOreclosure

One thing that can sometimes be effective to stop foreclosure is filing for bankruptcy. If you decide to take this step, it’s important to make sure you are filing for chapter thirteen bankruptcy reorganization, not chapter seven bankruptcy. A chapter seven bankruptcy will not save your home because your assets are sold off a during chapter seven bankruptcy.

You are a good candidate for bankruptcy reorganization under chapter- if you feel that changing the payment terms for your debts will allow you to be able to handle the payments. If you have so much debt that the payment will be too high for you no matter what the interest rate and terms are, then chapter thirteen bankruptcy organization is not a good idea for you.

The foreclosure process is usually stopped by filing for bankruptcy. This is not a permanent situation, however. Filing for bankruptcy does not guarantee that the foreclosure will not proceed. However, the foreclosure will be halted temporarily so that you can attempt to reorganize your debts.

However, filing for bankruptcy will add another negative mark to your credit report on top of the foreclosure.

Of course, you should take extra care to ensure that your bankruptcy reorganization plan is realistic. You will not be given another chance to reorganize your debts. Once you have set up a bankruptcy reorganization plan, you must make every payment on time. Otherwise, you could still end up losing your home to foreclosure.

There is no guarantee going into bankruptcy reorganization what the outcome will be. However, a good bankruptcy attorney will be able to help you determine whether a chapter thirteen bankruptcy is likely to be in your best interest.
