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. If you have another plan for avoiding foreclosure that requires more time, such as a pending sale on your home, this tactic can help you buy the time you need. However, filing for bankruptcy will add another negative mark to your credit report on top of the foreclosure.
Having your credit report scarred by not just a foreclosure but a bankruptcy as well makes you look very questionable to potential lenders. For that reason, you should think twice about filing for bankruptcy if you think you are going to be trying to buy another home within the next few years.
Since bankruptcy reorganization is one way that someone facing foreclosure has a shot at keeping their home, it is worth taking a look at if you are in that situation. If you qualify for bankruptcy reorganization and can come up with a plan that is acceptable to the court for paying back your debts, you may be able to stay in your home.
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.
If you file for bankruptcy reorganization under chapter thirteen, there is a chance that you still may not be able to work out a payment plan with your creditors. 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.
Chapter thirteen reorganization is not for everyone, but in some cases it is the best chance at saving a home from foreclosure. Make sure you research all of your options thoroughly before deciding to file for bankruptcy and decide for yourself whether the potential benefit is worth having a negative mark on your credit report.
