Chapter 13 can help you stay out of foreclosure court

Chapter 13 can consolidate your debt, pay back your mortgage arrears with no interest, and help save your home from foreclosure.

Cook County's foreclosure court has increased the number of judges from 10 to 14, starting their new schedules Monday.

The Chicago Tribune reports that in Cook County, foreclosures are up over 47 percent for the first half of 2008, and total cases are expected to pass 42,000 by the end of the year.

Contact a bankruptcy attorney in your area and they can help stop the foreclosure, eliminate the stress and help get you back on track.
