If you’re overwhelmed by debt but want to protect your home, vehicle, or other valuable assets, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the solution you’re looking for. At Susan M. Williams, LLC, we help individuals and families throughout Wethersfield, Connecticut reorganize debt, stop creditor actions, and create a realistic path toward 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 excellent option for homeowners facing foreclosure or individuals who need time to catch up on secured debt payments.

How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Works
The Chapter 13 process begins with a comprehensive review of your income, debts, assets, and monthly expenses. If you qualify, 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
- Creating a court-approved repayment plan
- Attending the trustee meeting (341 meeting)
- Making structured monthly payments over three to five years
- Receiving a discharge of eligible remaining debts after successfully completing the plan
A properly structured Chapter 13 repayment plan can help you keep your property while working toward long-term financial recovery.
