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? This book will show you how to save your house, car and other assets with Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. It lets you cancel your debts and pay off the rest with an affordable repayment plan.

And now you can avoid attorney fees and do it yourself -- let Chapter 13 Bankruptcyyou how to:

  • determine if you qualify for Chapter 13
  • stop a house foreclosure
  • estimate monthly payments
  • devise an acceptable repayment plan
  • complete and file forms
  • 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.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good job, May 9, 2004
    By A Customer
    The author did a good job organizing the information in this book.

    I would also recommend Surviving Financial Disasters by Tiffany R. Love which comes with a CD ROM and actual sample court documents from someone who has been there and done that. Also tells what to expect after you filed your papers.

    By V. BOOKER (Bowie, MD) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    This book was very informative, I own a Bankruptcy Petition Preparer Service. To broaden my expertise in Chapter 13, I purchased this book. With the information in this book alone, I am now able to expand my business by offering Chapter 13 service to Attorneys. Five Stars for this book.
