There are many benefits in filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. For one, a St. Louis Chapter 13 bankruptcy can stop a foreclosure and allow you to enter into a reorganization plan which would protect your house. Also, you may be able to reduce the interest rate on a car loan or other secured debt. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows you to retain the property or other items that may not be protected under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy.

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, certain priority debts must be paid in full. Often, these include taxes, mortgages, and car arrears. If you have fallen behind on any of these debts, filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can often protect you from these creditors attempting a foreclosure or repossession.
