Eligibility for Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

Not everyone can file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. There are some debt caps and limitations based on previous bankruptcy filings. And even if you meet these criteria, you still must propose a confirmable Chapter 13 plan in order to get past the first stage of Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
