Avoiding Home Foreclosure

You may be able to avoid bank or mortgage foreclosure on your home in Maine by filing for Chapter 13. Often, the most satisfying and successful bankruptcies are those that involve a partial repayment of debts through financial reorganization. Clients with the ability to repay some debts will be able to protect more property and incur less damage to your credit report through the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process.

Filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may Save your Home:

Avoid foreclosure - The #1 reason for choosing Chapter 13 bankruptcy over chapter 7 is to save your home from foreclosure.
Curing Home Mortgage Arrears - If a debtor is behind in his or her mortgage payments and facing a foreclosure, Chapter 13 can permit the debtor to cure the defaults and reinstate the mortgage.
Retain Non-Exempt Property - Chapter 13 enables debtors to retain property which would otherwise be liquidated in a Chapter 7.
Control the Sale of Property - Chapter 13 permits a debtor to liquidate property in a manner and at a time which can generate the highest value. Liquidation sales may encourage buyers to offer less than market value at a time when receiving a high price for property is essential for a debtor's financial rehabilitation.
Refinancing Home and Future Credit - It may be easier and quicker to refinance a home purchased while in Chapter 13 than if that same debtor filed Chapter 7.
