How Chapter 13 Works
Chapter 13 follows a structured path:
Step 1: Review and Plan
We review your income, debts, and goals and build a repayment plan that fits your budget and protects your property.
Step 2: Filing and the Automatic Stay
Filing triggers an automatic stay that stops collection, foreclosure, and repossession activity.
Step 3: Plan Confirmation
The court reviews and confirms your repayment plan, and you begin making manageable monthly payments.
Step 4: Completion and Discharge
When you complete the plan, remaining qualifying debt is discharged and you emerge with a fresh start.

Chapter 13 is about catching up, not giving up. You can expect a plan built around your real budget, protection for your home and car, and support through the full term.
- Stopping foreclosure
- Curing mortgage and car arrears
