Chapter 13 bankruptcy permits individuals to pay back creditors over a period of three to five years. The debtor files a proposed plan for paying off debts to the court. If the plan is approved, the debtor pays a court-appointed trustee in monthly installments as agreed on in the repayment plan. The trustee then pays each creditor.
