CHAPTER 13 BANKRUPTCY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

  • What is the Preparation and Filing of the Petition and Chapter 13 Plan?

    In order to file a bankruptcy case, debtors must prepare and file a “petition” with the bankruptcy court. The petition is signed by the debtors and is submitted with a number of other documents called “schedules”, which list all of the debtors' assets, debts, income, and expenses, as well as other important financial information. The schedules must be completed truthfully and accurately, as they are meant to give the bankruptcy court a very detailed picture of the debtors' finances at the time that the petition is filed. In addition, the debtors must file a certificate showing completion of the credit counseling requirement and any pay stubs that they received within the 60 day period immediately before the bankruptcy filing. Lastly, the debtors must file a proposed Chapter 13 plan which explains to the bankruptcy court and the creditors how the debtors intend to make payments on their debts, typically over a period of from 3 to 5 years.

  • Do I need to take a credit counseling course?

    With very limited exceptions, all debtors must take a credit counseling course before they can file their bankruptcy case. This course, which can be taken on-line, will explain the different alternatives available aside from bankruptcy and will assist the debtors with a budget analysis. The course must be provided by a non‑profit counseling agency that has been approved by the office of the United States Trustee and must be done within the 180 day period immediately before the bankruptcy case is filed.

  • What is an Automatic Stay and why is it important?

    A very important aspect of bankruptcy is the “automatic stay” which generally goes into effect as soon as the bankruptcy petition is filed. This automatic stay prevents creditors from continuing any type of collection efforts or bothering the debtors in any way about money owed to them unless they get special permission from the Bankruptcy Court. This automatic stay includes, with some limitations, the immediate stopping of such things as lawsuits, foreclosures, repossessions, garnishments, collection letters, and harassing phone calls.
