Amarillo Chapter 13 Attorney

​

Chapter 13 is a reorganization of debts for individuals. When you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Amarillo your debts are consolidated and reduced to one monthly payment that you can afford based on your monthly disposable income; letting you catch up on any delinquent payments on homes and vehicles, while keeping your property. Best of all a Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stop foreclosure on your home and allow you to catch up the back payments over 3 to 5 years. Your unsecured debts are paid based on what you can afford after paying everything else, which for most people around Amarillo is about zero. The remaining amount is then discharged wiped out forever! You may also be able to pay only what your secured property is really worth and not what you actually owe on it. Chapter 13 is not available to partnerships or corporations. But a person who has a small unincorporated business may file Chapter 13 bankruptcy. Before you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it’s important to discuss your particular financial situation with an experienced Amarillo bankruptcy attorney to make sure it’s the best legal option for your needs.
