If you’re struggling with debt but want to protect your home, vehicle, or other valuable assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may provide the financial relief you need. At Susan M. Williams, LLC, we help individuals and families throughout Glastonbury, Connecticut reorganize debt, stop creditor actions, and create a clear path toward long-term financial stability.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals with regular income to repay all or a portion of their debts through a court-approved repayment plan over three to five years. Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Chapter 13 focuses on debt reorganization, making it an ideal option for homeowners facing foreclosure, individuals behind on secured loan payments, or those seeking to retain important assets while resolving debt.

How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Works
The Chapter 13 process begins with a thorough review of your income, debts, assets, and monthly expenses. If Chapter 13 is the right solution, a repayment plan is developed and submitted to the bankruptcy court for approval.
The process generally includes:
- Completing the required credit counseling course
- Filing your Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition
- Developing a court-approved repayment plan
- Attending the trustee meeting (341 meeting)
- Making affordable monthly payments over three to five years
- Receiving a discharge of eligible remaining debts after successfully completing the plan
A properly structured repayment plan can help you protect your property while working toward lasting financial recovery.
