& Repay Debts Over Time
By Attorneys Robin Leonard & Stephen R. Elias,
Nolo Press
Description:
"Reduce your debts, save your property
-- and start over!"
"Are you behind on your mortgage, taxes or
other bills? Are creditors threatening foreclosure or repossession?
Consider Chapter 13 bankruptcy, which can provide you an affordable
repayment plan -- and let you keep your house, car and other
property."
"You can even avoid attorney fees and do it
yourself -- let Chapter 13 Bankruptcy show the way."
Find out how to:
- determine if you qualify for Chapter 13
- estimate monthly payments
devise an acceptable repayment plan
- complete and file forms
- stop a house foreclosure
- make up missed mortgage payments
- pay off other debts
- represent yourself before a bankruptcy judge or trustee
The 9th edition is completely
rewritten to reflect the recent (and massive) changes
to federal bankruptcy law, as well as the latest
bankruptcy exemption laws of your state. It also
includes the most current legal documents and instructions
on filling them out.
Whether you work with a lawyer or file on your own,
you'll find everything you need to take charge of
your debts in Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. |
