Chapter 13, also known as “wage earner bankruptcy”, requires a reliable source of income that can be usedto pay off some of the debt. While filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, a repayment plan must be proposedthat details how the debt will be paid off within 3-5 years. The minimum amount to be paid depends on howmuch the consumer earns, how much they owe, and how much the unsecured creditors would receive if Chapter 7 was filed instead. The federal government limits the debt amount to under $1,149,525 in secured debt and under $383,175 in unsecured debt. If secured debts are involved, the consumer has the option tomake up missed payments to avoid repossession.
