Chapter 13 Emergency Bankruptcy Kit (To Prevent a Foreclosure) - Downloadable & Fillable - Available for all States, District of Columbia, Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, & Virgin Islands.

These kits went on the market July 2007 and have already been used by thousands of homeowners successfully to file an
emergency bankruptcy.

Purchase this emergency bankruptcy chapter 13 kit and receive a $10 credit towards any bankruptcy kit we offer so you may complete your documents.

"All the information you enter flows from one form to the next, eliminating the need to type information repeatedly thereby minimizing typing errors!"

Description:

"Emergency Bankruptcy Petitions will stop foreclosures in two easy steps; however, this is only a select few of the documents that are filed with the court allowing you fifteen days to submit the balance of the documents or your case will be dismissed."

This is not a complete bankruptcy petition. If you do not have a foreclosure or wage garnishment scheduled use one of the following options:

"Once you file your petition with the Bankruptcy Court you will fax your file stamped copy from the court to the foreclosing agent or call them with the case number and this will stop all proceedings. This needs to be done prior to the scheduled foreclosure sale time. Therefore, if the sale time is scheduled for 09:30 in the morning, you file, and the court stamps the file time at 09:31 in many states you have lost your home. Even if there is not a buyer the house will be surrendered to the lender and in many states with no recourse to get it back."

Why An Emergency Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Kit?

"With over 1 million foreclosures last year and this year setting a record pace this kit was created with one person in mind."

"Persons finding themselves in the foreclosure process usually do not realize that filing a chapter 13 bankruptcy will not only save their home but allows them to repay the  arrears (mortgage company missed payments) over a 3 - 5 year period. However, by the time they realize this is an option they find there is not enough time to complete a full chapter 13 bankruptcy petition.  For these people we offer this emergency bankruptcy chapter 13 kit."

"All bankruptcy courts allow a partial filing of documents to start the process allowing the person 15 days to submit the remainder of the documents. This kit offers all of the documents required by your district court for a partial filing allowing you to focus on just these documents necessary instead of the entire bankruptcy process.  The sole purpose of these kits is to simplify the process allowing you to save your home."

"This emergency bankruptcy kit is specifically designed to stop a foreclosure and allow a homeowner the opportunity to catch up on their mortgage." 

It is not designed for wage garnishments, instead use the free version call us and order a garnishment kit for the same price as this kit.  Garnishment kits can take up to 24 hours to receive via email.

You must take the pre-bankruptcy credit counseling prior to filing, see counseling.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader to view , print or fill out forms with this emergency bankruptcy kit.  You may opt to not fill them out on the computer and print them instead and fill out using black ink.   If you do not have Adobe Acrobat Reader, or an earlier version you can download or upgrade to version 8.0 free by clicking on the Adobe Acrobat image below.

Can I use this Kit for an Emergency Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Filing?

This kit comes with instructions and a sample for an emergency chapter 13 bankruptcy filing; however, this kit may also be used to file an emergency chapter 7 bankruptcy.  There are two variances when using it as a chapter 7:
  • The first, where the form asks the chapter you are filing instead of following the sample and adding or selecting chapter 13 you will need to select or add chapter 7.
  • The other variance, if you choose to pay the court costs in installment payments, you will need to use the following information to fill out your forms instead of following the chapter 13 sample provided with your kit:
    • instead of adding $274.00 on the form (which is the filing fee for a chapter 13) you will add the chapter 7 filing fee which is $299.00.   (All districts charge the same).
    • Finally, instead of making 4 payments of $68.50 you would make four payments of $74.75 or however else you choose to pay the filing fee.
Can I use this Kit to stop a wage garnishment?

Garnishment kits are in the works and are being created per each district when requested.  If you would like to purchase one please call (866) 946-0325.  The price is the same, however it may take up to 24 hours to receive your wage garnishment kit via email.

Step 2.  Credit Counseling

As per the Bankruptcy Reform Act of 2005 you are required to complete a pre-bankruptcy counseling session with an approved credit counseling agency prior to filing.  This is mandatory whether you file a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy.  You may use any approved credit counseling agency.  We recommend using GreenPath (866) 332-8435  or Consumer  Credit  Counseling  Service (English 800-251-2227, en Espanol 866-672-2227) who will complete the entire counseling process in two sessions over the phone or online; however, if you find it difficult to get through to them use the link below to find an approved credit counseling agency in your area.  If you do not plan to continue with the bankruptcy after the filing of the emergency petition you may opt to pay for only the first part of the credit counseling.  You will receive a certificate of completion after your first session with GreenPath which must be filed with the court when you file your emergency petition.

List of Credit Counseling Agencies Approved Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 111

The second session is a "test" and for completing it you will receive an "Educational" Certificate of Completion. The first certificate is filed at the same time as your Petition and the second one filed anytime after you have filed the Petition with the court and received a case number.
