We represented a family with a home that was not worth as much as their 1st mortgage balance and they had fallen behind on their payments. They have a home equity line of credit (2nd mortgage) which had become increasingly more difficult to pay on time. One of their vehicles was paid off, but they fell behind on payments for the. Due to a job loss, credit card debt had grown to $25,000. This family was able to use their future wages to fund a court protect repayment plan under Chapter 13. The Chapter 13 plan will allow them to keep their home and cars, modify their car loan to a new payment, reclassify their 2nd mortgage (i.e. remove it from their deed and pay it as an unsecured creditor) and pay back only a percentage of what is owed to their unsecured creditors (credit cards and balance of what was a 2nd mortgage).We have obtained similar results for hundreds of individuals and families.
