The purpose of Chapter 13 is to give you a fresh start. Here is how it works. First, Kenneth S. Borcia will make a determination to see if you are eligible. To do this, he will discuss your entire financial situation and figure out what your living expenses are per month for your basic necessities, such as food, clothing, shelter, transportation, etc. A monthly payment that you can afford is then worked out, and this amount is sent to the trustee, which can run no longer than 60 months.
Once your Chapter 13 case is filed, you and your family stop having anything to do with your creditors. From that point, everything is handled by the court, the trustee, and your attorney. You should keep in mind that although Chapter 13 does go through the U.S. Bankruptcy Court, it is not straight bankruptcy.
