Example: How Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Can Stop Foreclosure:
Your mortgage company has just filed a foreclosure on your home because you have failed to make payments for the past 6 months. You're now $7,000 in arrears. Under Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, you can cure the default over a reasonable time and reinstate the original mortgage. However, while curing the arrearage through the plan, you must continue to make all current payments that come due. In other words, you can stop the foreclosure by paying an extra $150 per month plus the current mortgage payment. Upon completion, you will have reinstated the mortgage through your Chapter 13 Plan.
