ANSWERS TO YOUR BANKRUPTCY CONCERNS
Frequently Asked Questions
Find clear answers to common Chapter 13 bankruptcy questions, including repayment plans, eligibility, filing requirements, and how Chapter 13 can help protect your assets.
How is my Chapter 13 plan payment calculated?
Start with disposable income after reasonable living expenses. Add mortgage arrears, priority taxes, and any nonexempt equity that must be covered. Divide the total across the plan term, and that becomes the monthly figure the trustee collects from you.
Can Chapter 13 stop a foreclosure and let me catch up on my mortgage?
Yes, provided the case is filed before the sale takes place. The arrears then spread across the plan term while you resume regular payments. John E. Pytte P.C. files emergency petitions for Savannah, GA homeowners facing imminent sale dates.
What happens if I miss a Chapter 13 plan payment?
One missed payment rarely ends a case, but the trustee will move to dismiss if arrears build. Options include catching up, modifying the plan, or requesting a suspension. Raising the issue early keeps all three available to you.
Can I buy a car or a house while I am in Chapter 13?
With court permission, yes. A motion to incur debt explains why the purchase is necessary and shows the payment fits your budget. Vehicle replacements are approved routinely. Mortgages are possible but take more documentation and time to arrange.
What is a cramdown on a car loan in Chapter 13?
When a vehicle loan is older than 910 days, the secured portion can be reduced to what the car is currently worth. The remainder joins your unsecured pool, cutting both the monthly payment and the total repaid over the plan.
Can I dismiss my Chapter 13 case before it ends?
Voluntary dismissal is a right in this chapter, though creditors resume collection immediately afterward and the arrears return. John E. Pytte P.C. reviews the alternatives with clients across Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA before anyone takes that step.
Does Chapter 13 protect a co-signer on my debts?
For consumer debts, yes. The co-debtor stay keeps creditors from pursuing anyone who signed alongside you while the plan is active, as long as the debt is being paid through it. Business debts fall outside that protection entirely.
Months From Now, This Chapter Can Simply Be Over
There is a specific date, usually somewhere between 4 and 6 months from the day a petition is filed, when the credit card balances, the medical bills, and the old personal loans stop being yours. Not reduced. Not negotiated. Gone, by federal court order. Reaching that date cleanly depends on work done before filing: honest valuations, exemptions matched to your property, and a means test that holds. John E. Pytte P.C. has handled Chapter 7 filings for Savannah, GA and Hinesville, GA households for 30 years.
