Yes, you can pay a lump sum on a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan without changing the original amount owed, as long as the payment is made in accordance with the plan's terms. This often helps debtors pay off their obligations more quickly and potentially reduce interest or fees. However, it's important to consult with your bankruptcy attorney to ensure that the lump sum payment aligns with the court's approval and the plan's requirements.

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.


How much do you have to owe to file chapter 7?

There is no statutory amount needed to file bankruptcy. With the new bankruptcy reform it may be difficult to file a Chapter 7 if the person has even a small amount of expendable/nonexempt assets. One of the objectives of the new BK regs. is to require more debtors to file a Chapter 13 rather than a 7.
