The Advantages of Chapter 13
Credit card debt and medical bills are the most common reasons why people get on a debt management program. These programs are often problematic because:
- They are often funded by the creditors themselves.
- They are voluntary for creditors.
- A creditor can demand payment of the entire debt or even pursue a judgment and wage garnishment while you are enrolled in the plan.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy has many advantages over these programs, such as:
- A court-protected payment plan that prevents creditors from demanding full payment
- Court-ordered participation by the creditor
- Ability to stop wage garnishments and home foreclosure
- Interest rates reduced to 0 percent, even on credit card debt
- Restructures debt, and after three to five years, any remaining unsecured debt is eliminated
