If you are struggling with debt but want to keep your home, vehicle, or other important assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide the financial relief and structure you need. At Susan M. Williams, LLC, we help Connecticut residents create manageable repayment plans that stop aggressive collection actions and provide a path toward long-term financial stability.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy, often called “reorganization bankruptcy,” allows individuals with regular income to repay all or a portion of their debts over a three-to-five-year period under court protection. Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 is designed for individuals who want to catch up on mortgage payments, prevent foreclosure, or reorganize debt while retaining valuable property.

Attorney Susan M. Williams has decades of experience representing clients throughout Connecticut in bankruptcy and debt relief matters. Our firm understands how stressful financial hardship can become, and we work closely with every client to develop practical solutions tailored to their unique circumstances.

For many Connecticut families, Chapter 13 provides the opportunity to regain financial control without liquidating assets. Filing also triggers an automatic stay, which immediately halts most collection efforts, lawsuits, repossessions, and foreclosure actions.
How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Works
The Chapter 13 process begins with a review of your income, debts, and financial obligations to determine eligibility and repayment options. Once your case is filed, the court approves a repayment plan based on your financial situation and ability to pay.
The process generally includes:
- Credit counseling through an approved agency
- Filing your bankruptcy petition and repayment plan
- Attending a trustee meeting
- Making structured monthly payments
- Completing the repayment plan and receiving a discharge of eligible debt
Most repayment plans last between three and five years depending on income and debt levels.
