If you’re facing mounting debt but want to protect your home, vehicle, or other valuable assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may offer the financial relief you need. At Susan M. Williams, LLC, we help individuals and families throughout East Hartford, Connecticut reorganize their debt, stop aggressive creditor actions, and build a path toward long-term financial stability.
Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows individuals with regular income to repay 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 excellent option for those who want to prevent foreclosure, catch up on overdue payments, and keep important property.

How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Works
The Chapter 13 process begins with a complete review of your income, debts, assets, and monthly expenses. If Chapter 13 is the right option, a repayment plan is developed and submitted to the bankruptcy court for approval.
The process generally includes:
- Completing required credit counseling
- Filing your Chapter 13 bankruptcy petition
- Creating 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 allows many individuals to protect their assets while resolving debt in a manageable way.
