Final Answer :
False
Explanation :
Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, only the debtor can initiate the filing. Involuntary bankruptcy petitions can generally be filed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11, but not under Chapter 13, which is specifically designed for individuals with regular income to develop a plan to repay all or part of their debts.
