What actually happens to Chapter 13 plans in your district — from the full population of federal filings, not a survey. All data inline; nothing about you is sent or collected.
Quick answer: Nationally, 37.6% of Chapter 13 cases filed 2014–2019 completed the plan and received a Chapter 13 discharge; 53.9% were dismissed (most within 8 months), and 6.6% converted to Chapter 7 and were discharged there. Completion varies enormously by district — from under 10% to over 60% among districts with at least 100 resolved cases.
Source & method: Federal Judicial Center Bankruptcy Petition NewSTATS Snapshots database — every voluntary Chapter 13 case filed 2014–2019 in U.S. bankruptcy courts (1,778,701 cases; dispositions current through January 2026). "Completed" = discharged with the case still under Chapter 13 (a discharge after conversion to Chapter 7 is counted separately, not as plan completion). Transfers and administrative closures are excluded from percentages. For some districts the later cohorts (2018–2019) are omitted where too many cases were still pending to score reliably, so a district's case count and year span can be narrower than the national 2014–2019 window; the national figures are unaffected. Rates are cohort outcomes, not predictions: your case depends on your budget, your district's practices, and whether you have counsel — represented debtors complete plans at far higher rates than pro se filers (an observed association, not a measured effect of counsel: this data carries no income or debt detail). Not legal advice.
