Due to extreme financial difficulties, some homeowners in Cedar Rapids are at risk of losing their homes to foreclosure. However, homeowners who are in such situations may benefit from seeking Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection to possibly protect their homes. The protections granted with this kind of action include:

• Homeowners are prevented from being harassed by creditors immediately, and their home is protected from foreclosure until the bankruptcy procedure has been started
• A three to five year repayment plan is established
• In some situations, the court may discharge the entire debt of a homeowner who files for Chapter 13 bankruptcy by reclassifying a second or third mortgage as an unsecured debt
