Converting Chapter 13 To Chapter 7

There are two main forms of bankruptcy. In a Chapter 7, all or most of your consumer debt is eliminated, but some of your assets could be repossessed, including your car. In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you set up a three- to five-year repayment plan that is based on your income and ability to pay. You have the right to convert a Chapter 13 bankruptcy to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy at any time if you become eligible.

Perhaps you are struggling to keep up with your Chapter 13 payments. If you have recently lost your job or become ill, the Chapter 13 plan may no longer be realistic. Speak to an experienced bankruptcy attorney for assistance converting a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing to a Chapter 7 filing.
