Q: IF you are say 100,00 dollars in debt and you are on chapter 13 would they take most of your check and leave you $ 200.
My sister and her husband are on chapter 13 they kept their house but she is trying to say they don't have money. I myself just got off chapter 13 and they didn't take all of my check just wondering
A: Your question cannot be answered with the information provided. Your sister needs to contact her bankruptcy attorney. If she filed without the benefit an attorney she needs to hire one. Over 90% of chapter 13 cases filed by debtors without an attorney end up being dismissed. You can search for an attorney using the Justia "Find a Lawyer" link at the top of this page.
