When It Makes Sense for Chapter 13 to Follow Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
Chapter 13 Following Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
If you have recently filed for a chapter 7 bankruptcy and received a bankruptcy discharge but want to find a way to keep your home from a potential foreclosure, then a subsequent chapter 13 bankruptcy may be a good option for you. This situation is known as a chapter 20 bankruptcy filing. Through the chapter 13, you may be able to obtain a loan modification through the loss mitigation program or cure the arrears owed on your mortgage through a chapter 13 plan. Until the final foreclosure sale, you still have a property interest in your home and legal avenues to attempt to work out a solution to be able to remain in the home.
