Arizona Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Chapter 13 is a common form of bankruptcy in Arizona. Most people who do not file Arizona Chapter 7 bankruptcy often decide to file Arizona Chapter 13 bankruptcy. In an Arizona Chapter 13, the court does not require that the debtor give up any of his or her assets. The court permits the debtor to keep all his or her assets but is required to continue to make restructured payments every month.

When a person defiles Arizona Chapter 13, he or she is required to submit a payment plan to the court. The payment plan will show how the debtor has enough income to continue to pay all basic need and still have enough to make payments to his or her creditors. The payments that the debtor makes to the creditors will not be the normal payments but smaller more manageable payments. In addition, during the Arizona Chapter 13 payment plan, the debtor's creditors will not be allowed to charge interest to the debtor's debt or will have to lower the interest rate.

An Arizona Chapter 13 payment plan can last from 3 to 5 years. Upon completion of the plan, the bankruptcy court will give the debtor a discharge of any dischargeable debt.
