Chapter 13 bankruptcies to protect your property and to help you reorganize and reduce other debts. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy places your home under the protection of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and stops foreclosures. It also puts your vehicle under the same Bankruptcy court protection and prevents your car from being repossessed. Chapter 13 bankruptcy is used primarily by people with a mortgage or a vehicle who wish to keep their property, yet need time to restructure payment of existing debt to a manageable level.
