Can someone contrast chapter 13 with chapter 11 codes? ~ R. Manning

I think it would be hard; it's a little like apples to oranges. Chapter 13 is consumer bankruptcy, and chapter 11 is almost always commercial bankruptcy. Quite a few sections don't have perfect analogs. That being said, both have plans, and both have confirmation, both have a type of cramdown. I'm sure someone could throw together a table of them, but perhaps the effort should be spent on giving the article some structure in general too. Has anyone attempted to standardize the chapter 13 and 11 pages? LH 04:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Section partition[edit]

I partitioned this page in order to improve the flow and give it a better sense of organization, although, of course, I did not change the organization of the content nor did I change any of the content except add the tax slavery element regarding the prohibition against involuntary Chapter 13 bankruptcies.

The statistics regarding Business Chapter 13 filings are misleading[edit]

I briefly scanned the source that was cited for the bankruptcy filing statistics in 2003 and 2004. Although the source does use the term Business filing and lists the quoted numbers for Chapter 13 business debtors, the fact is that businesses are not eligible to file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13. Chapter 13 is solely for individuals. I couldn't figure out what Business filings meant in the context of the source document, but I think that the Chapter 13 statistics to business filings should be removed as they incorrectly imply that a business debtor can file for bankruptcy protection under Chapter 13. Please clarify the statistics for me or correct me if I'm wrong —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.68.76.226 (talk) 02:31, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Citation question[edit]

A while back I modified the "Choice of Chapter" section: "This written plan details all of the transactions (and their durations) that will occur, and repayment according to the plan must begin within thirty to forty-five days after the case has started." My citation was subsequently removed as being not a source that meets WP:RS.

I'm trying to understand how the citation deal works... If the citation is untrusted, then why are the facts retained? Yankeerudy (talk) 20:02, 28 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mortgage after Chapter 13[edit]

There's misleading info in here. It's true that you can't get a FHA mortgage until 2 years after a Chap 7 discharge -- but with Chapter 13, it's possible to get a FHA mortgage, given that you've made at least 12 months of payments on your Chap 13 plan.
