Individual Debt Adjustment

Chapter 13 is a unique vehicle which allows the individual Debtor to categorize their debts into different yet logically related categories for treatment under a Chapter 13 Plan. Some of these categories are non-dischargeable tax debt, mortgage or auto loan delinquency, student loans, unsecured debts, medical bills and credit cards.  

Your Chapter 13 Plan and payment to the Chapter 13 Trustee is based on a variety of different factors. The Chapter 13 Plan provides for distributions to each of those categories in differing percentages based on variables such as household size, disposable income, exempt and non-exempt assets and even the character of household income.
