Chapter 13

A section of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code that deals with reorganization of debt of wage-earning individuals, including the opportunity to save their homes from foreclosure.

Chapter 13

A form of bankruptcy in which a person or company reorganizes his/her/its debts so they are repaid over a period of three to five years. This form of bankruptcy is most commonly used if one continues to have significant income even though one's debts have become too burdensome. A disadvantage to Chapter 13 is the fact that one's debts are not discharged. However, Chapter 13 may allow one to maintain ownership of assets that would otherwise be liquidated. It is also called a wage earner plan. See also: Chapter 7, Chapter 11, Best interests of creditors test.
