Can Chapter 13 stop a trustee's sale in Arizona?

Arizona uses non-judicial foreclosure, so there is no court case to defend. Chapter 13 is the main tool to stop the sale. Filing even the day before triggers the automatic stay.

Can Chapter 13 lower my car payment?

If you bought your car more than 910 days before filing, the loan can often be reduced to the vehicle's value. Newer loans can still get a reduced interest rate through the plan.

Who is the Chapter 13 trustee in Arizona?

Plans are administered by the standing trustees for the District of Arizona. We prepare the plan, handle trustee objections, and keep the case on track to discharge.
