[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Bankruptcy Court] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, ZIP Code] Subject: Chapter 13 Plan Proposal — [Your Case No.] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to present my proposed Chapter 13 Plan for the [Your Case No.] bankruptcy proceeding under the jurisdiction of the [Bankruptcy Court]. As a resident of New Jersey, I understand how crucial it is to address my financial obligations responsibly. Through extensive research, careful consideration, and consultation with my legal counsel, I have devised a comprehensive Chapter 13 Plan that aims to achieve a fair and effective debt repayment strategy. The key components of my proposed Chapter 13 Plan are as follows: 1. Identification of Debts: I have diligently assessed my outstanding debts and listed them in the attached Schedule of Debts, along with the corresponding creditors, amounts owed, and priority classification. 2. Calculation of Disposable Income: In compliance with the requirements of the Bankruptcy Code, I have determined my disposable income by deducting reasonable and necessary living expenses from my current monthly income. This amount will serve as the basis for my proposed monthly payment plan. 3. Repayment Schedule: My proposed Chapter 13 Plan outlines a feasible repayment schedule, including monthly payments and the duration of the plan. It ensures that all priority debts, such as mortgage arrears, taxes, and child support obligations, receive preferential treatment. Additionally, it specifies the treatment of secured and unsecured debts in an equitable manner. 4. Confirmation of Plan: I kindly request the Honorable Court's thorough review of my proposed Chapter 13 Plan. After evaluating the plan's feasibility and compliance with applicable laws, I respectfully seek its confirmation. I firmly believe that this plan will enable me to satisfy my debts while managing my monthly expenses diligently. It is worth mentioning that New Jersey offers additional options within Chapter 13 bankruptcy. These variations include the 'Strip Lien' provision, which allows debtors to eliminate second or subsequent mortgages entirely under specific circumstances, based on the value of their property. Furthermore, the 'Cram down' provision permits modification of certain secured debts, potentially reducing the outstanding balance or interest rate. Given the complexity of my financial situation and the importance of adhering to legal requirements, I have accompanied this letter with all the required supporting documents, including my financial statements, tax returns, and other relevant proofs. I trust that these materials will assist the Court in its assessment of my proposed Chapter 13 Plan. I wholeheartedly believe that my proposed Chapter 13 Plan is in the best interest of all parties involved. It allows me to repay my debts responsibly while ensuring my financial stability going forward. I humbly request that the Court consider this plan as a fair resolution to my financial situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I eagerly await the Court's evaluation and a favorable decision on the confirmation of my proposed Chapter 13 Plan. Please do not hesitate to reach out if any further information is required. Sincerely, [Your Name]
