What percentage of unsecured debt is paid to the debtors involved in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?
The percentage paid to unsecured creditors in a Ch 13 is determined by your disposable income. Secured creditors get paid at 100%, house and car payments remain the same. What's left over gets paid out to those unsecured creditors who file proofs of claim. If a creditor does not file a claim, then that creditor does not get paid.

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.

It depends on the chapter. In either case, your remaining debt is now unsecured and a bankruptcy filing places the judgment on hold. If it is Chapter 13, file a claim and you may receive a percentage of the bankruptcy estate, but not usually until near the end of the bankruptcy term (3-5 years). If it's a Chapter 7, again, it's an unsecured debt and highly unlikely that the debtor will sign a reaffirmation to pay you back. If the bankruptcy gets dismissed (thrown out), your judgment is back in force, provided it has not expired.
In chapter 13 bankruptcy do you have to pay your unsecured creditors 100 percent?
NO.

Note that there is an excellent perspective book both about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition (published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias (a bankruptcy attorney). In the public library system for Colorado Springs, I found it at 346.078 E42N (Dewey decimal system).
