It’s easy to fall behind on car or mortgage payments, especially with the challenging economic times we now find ourselves in. Falling behind on these payments can lead to one’s car being repossessed or a foreclosure upon one’s home. Creditors are often not easy to deal with, and frequently, many people find themselves in a position where they are unable to negotiate with the creditor to avoid losing their home or car. However, these people are not helpless. There is a tool available to help them and it’s called bankruptcy. A chapter 13 bankruptcy, in particular, is designed to allow people who fall behind on car or home payments to get caught back up with a court-approved repayment plan.
