Learn More About Filing for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy in Ohio

Are you considering bankruptcy as a business owner or self-employed worker?
Filing for Chapter 13 may be your solution. Also called a wage earner's
plan, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy acts like a consolidation loan as it enables
an individual to develop a court-approved plan to repay his or her debts.

How Chapter 13 Works and Benefits of Filing
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the debtor proposes a three to five-year debt
repayment plan. During this time, creditors are ordered to stop wage garnishments,
home foreclosures, property repossessions, and more. Depending on your financial circumstances,
you may be able to repay your unsecured creditors as little as 1%.
- Under chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can:
- Save your home from foreclosure
- Stop foreclosure proceedings
- Resolve delinquencies on your mortgage
- Reschedule some secured debts and extend them over the life of the repayment plan
Who is Eligible for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?
An individual who is self-employed or operating a business will likely
be eligible for relief under Chapter 13 if the debts are less than what
is designated in 11 U.S.C. § 109(e). The individual cannot file under
this chapter, or any other chapter if they failed to comply with the orders
of the court during a previous bankruptcy case within 180 days. The filer
must also receive credit counseling from an approved agency within 180
days before filing.
