✅ You stay in your home — Chapter 13 is designed for homeowners. You remain in your home throughout the repayment process.

✅ Missed payments are restructured — Mortgage arrears spread into affordable payments over 3–5 years.

✅ Other debts reduced or eliminated — Credit cards, medical bills, and unsecured debts addressed in your plan.

✅ Creditor harassment ends — No more collection calls, threatening letters, or wage garnishments.

✅ Your lender must accept the plan — If it meets federal requirements, your mortgage company must comply.
