Chapter 13 is very different from filing a Chapter 7. With a Chapter 7, non-exempt assets of the debtor may be collected and sold to repay creditors. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy, on the other hand, is designed to give debtors a chance to repay all of their debts under better terms while keeping their assets. Under the current bankruptcy laws, people who file for a Chapter 13 will be given up to 5 years to repay some or all of their debts.
