Reclaim Control of Your Life with Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

When you’re behind on bills, facing foreclosure, or being hounded by creditors, it’s easy to feel stuck: lose everything or stay buried under debt. But Chapter 13 bankruptcy offers a third option—a way to keep what matters and take back control.

At The Bronson Law Firm, P.C., we help individuals restructure overwhelming debt into a manageable monthly payment—without giving up their home, their car, or their peace of mind. Chapter 13 isn’t about wiping the slate clean overnight—it’s about building a plan that works for your life.

What Is Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Chapter 13 bankruptcy—also called “reorganization bankruptcy”—is designed for people who have income but need help managing what they owe. Instead of liquidating assets, you work with the court to create a 3–5 year repayment plan that consolidates your debts into one monthly payment based on what you can afford.

That means:

• You can catch up on past-due mortgage or car payments.
• You stop foreclosure and repossession proceedings.
• You keep your assets while addressing unsecured debts like credit cards, medical bills, or personal loans.
• In many cases, a significant portion of your debt can be discharged at the end of the plan.

If you’ve been told you don’t qualify for Chapter 7, or you have valuable assets you’re trying to protect, Chapter 13 bankruptcy could be the right solution.

Who Qualifies for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy?

Not everyone is eligible for Chapter 13—but many people who think they aren’t actually are. Here are the basic requirements:

• You must have a regular income that supports monthly payments.
• Your secured and unsecured debt levels must fall below the legal limits (which we’ll evaluate for you).
• You must be filing as an individual—not as a business entity (though sole proprietors often benefit from Chapter 13).
• You must have filed your past four years of income taxes.
• You’re required to complete credit counseling through a court-approved provider within 180 days of filing.
