Chapter 13 Bankrutpcy
A Sacramento Bankruptcy Attorney speaks on Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
If a Chapter 13 filer can’t meet all plan payments due to hardship then a request for a hardship discharge can be made after the Chapter 13 plan is approved provided that three conditions are met: 1) the debtor’s failure to complete payments under the plan is due to circumstances “for which the debtor should not justly be held accountable”; 2) the debtor has satisfied the best interests of creditors test and 3) modification of the plan is not practicable.
A hardship discharge is granted for those who have found themselves in a deteriorating financial condition something more than just a temporary hardship that is not normal. For example where a Chapter 13 filer experiences a job loss due to an accident and disability compensation payments are not enough to pay living expenses and the Chapter 13 plan.
Once granted by the court, all creditors and parties in interest have 30 days to object to the discharge of debts.
