Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a federal court procedure for the deceleration and repayment of mortgage obligations along with the reduction or elimination of all other forms of debt. The filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy creates an immediate stop – known as an “automatic stay” – of the foreclosure process, halting a pending foreclosure and allowing for repayment of the past-due mortgage installments, and other debt obligations, over a three- to five-year time period. Chapter 13 bankruptcy will allow you to begin regularly scheduled monthly mortgage payments as if no previous default had ever occurred.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy stops a foreclosure in any stage immediately and allows for the repayment of past-due mortgage payments over a three-to-five year period while allowing you to start making your regular monthly payments again as if no problem had occurred. It does not require the approval of your mortgage lender and will allow you to proceed even if your bank or servicing company or their attorneys don’t agree. Depending on the value of your home, it also allows for the removal of second mortgages and other liens.
