Chapter 13 permits debtors to receive a discharge, but only after a payment plan between 3 and 5 years. You would need to file a petition for discharge under Chapter 13 with the Clerk of the Bankruptcy Court in your district. This petition will include schedules of all of your debts and creditors. Within 14 days, a debtor needs to propose a plan for repayment or adjustment of all debts within a 3 to 5 year period. If the plan is approved by the court, repayments begin within 30 days. It is highly recommended that you seek the advice of a local bankruptcy attorney in a Chapter 13 Petition.
