What is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
Chapter 13 is called “debt adjustment.” In a Chapter 13 case, you are required to make one monthly payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee, to repay some portion of the debt you have.

A Chapter 13 is used for individuals or couples with high income, tax problems or face foreclosure.
