How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Stops Foreclosure

If you are behind on mortgage payments, a foreclosure suit has been filed or a sheriff’s sale has already been set, filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy places an automatic stay on all creditors. Creditors also have to stop harassing you and must cease all demands for payment. The federal bankruptcy court is now protecting you.

In Chapter 13, you are allowed to pay any home mortgage arrearages over time. However, with Chapter 7, that is not an option and any past due payments have to be paid and the notes brought current. Once Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed, you are able to restructure all unsecured loans (i.e. credit card debt, car loans, medical bills), which may end up helping you make your mortgage payments. The advantage of Chapter 13 over a Chapter 7 filing is that you are able to make a repayment plan that works for you, over a period as long as five years.
