Sometimes clients call our office wanting a specific type of bankruptcy. They’ve heard good things about Chapter 7, which makes sense. Chapter 7 has its advantages. But there are a lot of situations where choosing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy might be a better option for you.

Using Chapter 13 to Save Our Clients from Foreclosure

As a Memphis bankruptcy attorney, I can’t tell you how many times we’ve used Chapter 13 to keep people in their homes.

I remember one night in particular. We got a call right before closing up for the day. The caller was terrified, because they were scheduled for a foreclosure in the next couple of days. We stayed late and helped them file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. By the next day, this client’s life had changed completely: They didn’t have to worry anymore about losing their home, and they never faced creditor harassment again.

In such dire circumstances, choosing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can be a lifesaver.

Reasons for Choosing Chapter 13

Among all the reasons you might prefer a Chapter 13, a few stand out as the most common reasons:

  • Perhaps you want to protect certain assets, like your house or car.
  • Maybe you have income that allows you to pay back a portion of your debts.
  • You need to stop wage garnishment and other harassment over your debts.

Perhaps the most powerful thing about a Chapter 13? It’s backed by US law. When you file Chapter 13, you have the force of our legal system on your side, helping you get a fresh start and keep what matters most.
