    A chapter 13 bankruptcy will not lower your house payment, it will take all of your debts, and all of the secured debts will be paid off , your unsecured debts will be paid at less than full value depending on your ability to pay.

    They will work out a very strict budget for the next three years normally, you will make payments to the court and they will pay your debts.

    It does not do away with the money you owe on the house.

    You need to refiance if posible to lower the payment if that is the issue, if not, you need to sell your house to pay off the debts.

    How many times can a person file for Chapter 13? I have a tenant that has filed Chapter 3 times since Oct. 2005. They are late with the rent and owe back rent. I would like to get the tenant to vacate the premises. Any idea on how I can do this and what is my next step?
