Most Bankruptcy Plans Fail
Did you know most bankruptcy plans fail within the first year? The reason being is new bankruptcy laws require the majority of bankruptcy petitioners to enter into a payment plan under Chapter 13. Debtors are often required to contribute as much as 60-percent of disposable income to pay off reorganized debts.
Another reason most bankruptcy plans fail is because petitioners do not understand what happens if they do not adhere to their Chapter 13 payment plan. New bankruptcy laws took effect in 2005 under the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act. These laws are extremely restrictive and leave petitioners little room for error. One missed payment can result in bankruptcy dismissal.

One crucial aspect of Subject To sales is most mortgage loans include a 'due on sale' clause which grants banks the right to demand payment in full when property is sold.
