Chapter 13 Bankruptcy: certain debts can be discharged in a chapter 13 that cannot be discharged in a chapter 7. In a chapter 13, you have the right to stop a foreclosure proceeding and cure mortgage arrearages over a reasonable period of time. This can save your property. A chapter 13 can be used to resolve IRS problems. In a chapter 13, you must propose a plan that will govern payments the payments that you will make to the court over a 3-5 year period. Typical legal fees will range from $1500.00-$2000.00 The majority of which is paid over time. Since the fee’s are higher, some attorney’s will push you into a chapter 13. If a chapter 13 will not help you, you should file a chapter 7.
