Pay 100% of all claims
The first way to get out of Chapter 13 bankruptcy early is to pay off all the claims against you. This includes claims for unsecured debt and all court and administrative fees. It does not matter where your money comes from, such as receiving an inheritance, taking on a second job or winning the lottery.
In some jurisdictions, the person declaring bankruptcy must justify why they can now pay off all their debt in less than the 36 or 60 months outlined in the original Chapter 13 agreement. Paying off the plan before the set time may require you to head back to court to have the original Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan modified by a judge, depending on where you live.
