This is used mostly by businesses. In Chapter 11, you may continue to operate your business, but your creditors and the court must approve a plan to repay your debts.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

If you have concluded that it is impossible for you to meet all your debt obligations, Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the solution. This form of bankruptcy is a “reorganization” rather than “liquidation”. You can usually keep your property, but you must earn wages or have some other source of regular income and you must agree to pay part of your income to your creditors. The court must approve your repayment plan and your budget. A trustee is appointed and will collect the payments from you, pay your creditors, and make sure you live up to the terms of your repayment plan.
