The means test allows you to earn a specified income based on the number of individuals in your household.

What Is A Chapter 13 Bankruptcy And Who Is Best Suited For A Chapter 13?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is when you file bankruptcy with a repayment plan that has a duration of 36-60 months to pay back money owed on a home mortgage or vehicle and certain other debt. You file chapter 13 bankruptcy to prevent a foreclosure or repossession of a vehicle. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow the recovery of a repossessed vehicle in certain situations. In the case of a mortgage, it requires you to make the monthly mortgage payment as well as pay something on the arrears that are owed. By the time the Chapter 13 plan is completed, your arrears will be paid in full.
