Can I use a anonymous note as a proof?
I recommend that you file a Police Report and give the Police the note and let them decide what to do in terms of charging the person (driver). The unknown driver could be liable for the damages to your car as well as leaving the scene of an accident.

Lawyer said I have to wait for uninsured motorist fund to cut me a check. Basically told me i was on a list and when my number comes my settlement comes.

I have been waiting forever and I was hoping I could do one of those "it's my money and I need it now" places
I dont know how long ago your settlement was reached, but your counsel should have the settlement check in hand within 60-90 of sending in the appropriate paperwork on the settlement. In terms of a funding, look at Lawcash.com

I paid the back mortgage payments up that my attorney had me miss to create debt. The plan now only has credit and vehicle.
Yes you need to get permission from the trustee to sell the asset, and you may have to turn over the proceeds from the sale, if any, to the trustee to satisfy the Chapter 13 Plan.
There are no points attached to this violation. There can be steep fines depending on if there are injuries or not
Counsel W. J. Winterstein Jr. has put it most clearly and even gave you the statutes that you can read for yourself. Well Done sir
I intend to continue being paying rent in full and on time.
No, as long as you are current, remain current and marked in your petition your intent to reaffirm your rental lease
What can i do to get a driver's license is bankruptcy my only option??
I disagree with counsel as some DMV, or MVC fines are able to be discharged. It would depend on what the fine was for to determine if discharged. Also, you would have to have more debt than just MVC as the court usually does not approve single creditor bankruptcies.

If a Chapter 7, she either has to pay or get out

Some firms when dealing with a chapter 13 only, will allow fees through Chapter 13 Plan. This does not apply to Chapter 7. Ask them if you can put fees in Chapter 13 plan and if not, why.
I make under the limit to have to pay taxes. But I was wondering if agency’s like the irs, Medicaid ( I’m on Medicaid) and other government departments are automatically notified when I file? Thanks
They are not automatically notified unless you owe them money. You will have to supply the last three years of tax returns or transcripts to your counsel and the Trustee in charge of your case.
