Are payments on secured debts suspended in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy?

Yes, payments on secured debts can be suspended in a Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a form of reorganization that offers debtors the opportunity to create a plan and time frame for repayment of their debts. During the bankruptcy process, debtors are granted some degree of protection from their creditors while they work to formulate a plan of reorganization. As part of the bankruptcy protection, debtors are often granted a suspension of payments on their secured debts. In the state of Utah, a Chapter 11 bankruptcy requires debtors to create a repayment plan that must be approved by the court. This plan provides an outline for how, when, and how much of the debtor’s debts will be paid to their creditors. During the process, payments on secured debts may be suspended until the plan is approved and implemented. This suspension of payments is designed to provide debtors with the breathing room they need to formulate a plan of repayment that is beneficial to both them and their creditors. A suspension can provide debtors with a window of time to raise more money and negotiate a better plan of repayment without worrying about the threat of defaulting on their secured debts. At the end of the bankruptcy process, debtors are relieved of their debts and will be able to begin making payments in accordance with their repayment plan. This plan outlines how much they owe each creditor, and when it is due. Once the approved plan is in place, debtors will be expected to make their payments according to the agreed-upon terms.
