| Summary, Etc. |
Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers unique debt solutions not available in Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Yes, you'll pay into a repayment plan. But your money will go toward the debts that matter most--like your mortgage, car loan, support obligations, and taxes. Remaining debts, such as credit card balances, medical bills, and utility bills, usually get only a fraction of what you owe. Some of Chapter 13 bankruptcy's other features include allowing filers to: keep all property; avoid foreclosure and vehicle repossession; pay the fair market value for a car; and stop lawsuits, wage garnishments, and bank levies. This revised edition covers all the latest changes in bankruptcy and is eco-friendly--we've moved many tables and forms online!--Provided by publisher.

| Summary, Etc. |
Chapter 13 bankruptcy works well for higher-income earners who need financial relief and those who don't want to risk losing a home, car, or other important property in Chapter 7. The flexible three- to five-year repayment plan allows filers to use their funds toward more critical obligations, like house and car payments, taxes, and support obligations, while paying less toward credit card balances, medical bills, personal loans, and other dischargeable debts.
