Discharging Unsecured Debt in a St. Louis Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

One of the most common misunderstandings about filing a Missouri Chapter 13 is that it is impossible to have unsecured debt (like credit cards, medical bills, payday loans, etc.) discharged. In actuality, it is a rare occasion when at least some of the unsecured debt isn’t knocked out. At the same time, this type of bankruptcy allows you to pay off debts on assets that you want to keep (like your car or home).

To determine how much of your unsecured debt is discharged in a St. Louis Chapter 13, the court looks at your household size and income. If your household size and income is below the median income level, then it is possible to have all of your unsecured debt discharged. If your household size and income is above the median income level, then it may be necessary to pay back a certain percentage of the unsecured debt over the course of the repayment plan.
