You will most likely be able to keep everything. The key is to list everything and then exempt it under the applicable exemption. Some attorneys offer, free consultations, so it won’t cost you anything to explore the possibility of filing bankruptcy.

I have completed 99% of my Chapter 13 and it’s a 5 year plan. Just got behind the last couple of payments. I have made smaller payments but not the full amount

More than likely, the answer is Yes, if the only issue is late payments. If you have an attorney, contact him/her immediately and they may be able to work out an arraignment to get your payments current. If you do not have an attorney, I’d advise contacting one immediately.

What steps do I need to take or is this even possible since I've started making payments

I have a home and vehicle that I can pay comfortablely if I could get rid of the credit debt..or will I have to file chapter 13 because of the fact that I still owe on the home and vehicle?

You may be able to file either a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 Bankruptcy case. The fact that you still owe on a house and vehicle play a part in that determination but it will also depend on whether how much equity you have in these items and if you are current on them. Please call a Bankruptcy attorney... View More
I make to much according to means test to file CH 7, but at the bottom it has the section to look at your disposable vs unsecured x .25. My quarter is much higher than my disposable. Also, i did not include my student loans anywhere in this calculation, should I?

Contact a Bankruptcy Attorney. The Means test is complicated and can be misleading.

As long as the transfer of the house was pursuant to a Divorce Decree, then it should be ok. It was over a year ago, so you shouldn't need to disclosed it on your Bankruptcy Petition.
and the trustee is still deducting money from my check

If you have an attorney, contact them so they can contact the Trustee. If you filed yourself, contact the Trustee and see if your case has paid out. After a case has paid out, you will need to file a 1328 certificate and make sure your 2nd credit counseling course has been filed.
