How to File for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Written by William Kain | September 23, 2017 at 3:00 PM

If you’re filing Chapter 13 bankruptcy in Minnesota, you may be aware of the stress and time-commitment required when filing your bankruptcy petition without an attorney. But did you know that with the wrong bankruptcy attorney the process can still be long, difficult, and stressful?

At Kain & Scott, we believe that filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy should be a solution, not another problem. That’s why we pride ourselves on offering Minnesota residents fast and easy ways to eliminate their debt through Chapter 13 bankruptcy. With Chapter 13 bankruptcy, Minnesota residents can erase thousands in unsecured debt with an easy and affordable repayment plan and, at the end of the repayment period, the remainder of the debt is discharged. And, unlike other types of bankruptcy, Chapter 13 allows you to keep your home, car, and other valuable assets safe from aggressive collections actions from creditors.

With Kain & Scott, our bankruptcy specialists can help you become debt-free in just 5 easy steps:

  1. Set up a free consultation
  2. Review, sign, and file your petition
  3. Attend a 341 meeting
  4. Make easy payments for the term of your plan
  5. Get your discharge

There’s no upfront cost or risk associated with finding out more information about Chapter 13 bankruptcy. At Kain & Scott, we believe in giving our prospective clients the information they need for free so they can make the right financial decision for their family. That’s why we offer free initial consultations to all prospective clients!

To find out more about how fast and easy Chapter 13 bankruptcy is with Kain & Scott, discover the advantages below!

Free no-risk bankruptcy consultation

If you think you don’t have time to schedule a consultation, wait for an appointment, fight traffic, pay for parking, and then spend hours in a lobby to find out whether you qualify for help, think again! At Kain & Scott, we understand that our clients lead busy lives and that eliminating your debt shouldn’t be a full-time job. We offer our clients free initial consultations from the comfort of their own homes: you can begin to file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy over the phone, online, or via Skype, without ever leaving the couch!

And, with Kain & Scott, you don’t need to spend days gathering your information before your consultation. Our highly-trained and experienced bankruptcy specialists can get started on your case with just basic information about your income, assets, and debts.

Experienced representation at your 341 meeting

Once your petition is filed, your attorney will accompany you to a 341 meeting (also known as a meeting of creditors) where you will answer simple questions about your petition, your income, assets, and debts from a chapter 13 trustee; this non-adversarial meeting will give the bankruptcy trustee a better idea of whether your chapter 13 plan should be approved.
