Mortgage lenders also need to protect their interests if a borrower is filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. This category of bankruptcy, also called the wage earner plan, provides debtors relief from overwhelming debts they accumulated. The court devises a plan in which the borrower pays back delinquent debts over a period of time. Doering & Associates makes sure the rights of mortgage lenders are protected during a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, including petitioning the court to remove the mortgage from the bankruptcy if a borrower falls behind in a repayment schedule.

The interests of mortgage lenders are in jeopardy in all types of bankruptcy disputes. Doering & Associates represents lenders in Chapter 11 bankruptcies, adversary actions and preference litigation.
