Stop Foreclosure: Protecting Your Home Through Chapter 13

Homeowners who cannot agree to a workout agreement with their mortgage lender can still stop foreclosure proceedings by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Unlike a work-out agreement, your Chapter 13 plan cannot be denied by your lender as long as it satisfies a Chapter 13 trustee and the court.

Unlike Chapter 7 bankruptcy, where there may be a risk of losing personal property, you can choose to file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and, if you meet the necessary requirements, you will not risk losing any of your personal belongings. If you qualify, we will work with you to develop a three- to five-year repayment plan that fits your budget. So long as you abide by this plan, you will retain ownership of all your possessions.

Our bankruptcy team can also help you get rid of any judgment liens or second or third mortgages on your property. Depending on your situation, these debts can be wiped away at the end of your three- to five-year repayment period.

Navigating The Chapter 13 Process In Connecticut

Our legal team utilizes the Chapter 13 process to provide individuals who have a steady income with a strategic framework to catch up on secured debts while discharging unsecured balances. This court-protected journey involves several critical components that aim to help you start anew:

• The automatic stay: Filing immediately halts all collection actions, including foreclosures, repossessions and wage garnishments.
• Mortgage mediation: Leveraging the court’s mediation programs to structure a mortgage modification can force lenders to negotiate sustainable payment terms.
• Debt consolidation: You can consolidate your past-due payments into one manageable monthly installment and make payments to a trustee.
• Disposable income focus: Your plan is based on what you can actually afford after meeting necessary living expenses.
• Discharge of remaining debt: Once you successfully complete the three-to-five-year plan, many of your remaining unsecured debts are legally discharged.

This approach can account for every creditor and shield every asset under the full protection of the law. Our team ensures that your filing is meticulous and your plan is realistic, advocating fiercely for the court’s approval to pave your path forward.
