What is a Chapter 20?

As an unknown individual at the Doney & Associates law firm surmised, "there is no real Chapter 20, but we bankruptcy attorneys amuse ourselves by proving that we can add." A Chapter 20 is when you file a Chapter 13 right after a Chapter 7. One reason some people do this is because you cannot stop a home foreclosure with a Chapter 7, but you cannot file a Chapter 13 if your unsecured debt exceeds a certain dollar amount. So, if someone's home is being foreclosed but their unsecured debt amount exceeds the limit for a Chapter 13, those persons may file a Chapter 7 and wipe out the unsecured debt, then file a Chapter 13 and stop the home foreclosure. Some Courts frown on Chapter 20's since they see it as an unfair manipulation of the bankruptcy code.

Yes. Any legal source of income, whether it could be attached by creditors or not, can form part of a Chapter 13. But you will have to make the payments on the Plan to get your discharge, so be sure you want to file a 13 instead of a 7. You can always convert to a 7 later, but it may be simpler, cheaper and less of a headache to file the 7.
