I was told My chapter 13 case was dismissed because my lender was not agreeable to resetting my timetable for payment

Question

I know the trustee was asking for a consent order for adequate protection payments for months..i been in bankruptcy for about 5 months why would the timetable have to be reset

Michael David Siegel · Answer

Because the money did not add up to pay off the arrears, or your surplus of income was higher to pay it faster.  The question is why were you in Chapter 13 in the first place, and whether you should re-file, or do a modification in state court.

Leonard R. Boyer · Answer

I do not know whether or not you are represented by an experienced Bankruptcy attorney, or not, but if you are, then all your questions need to be directed to the attorney. Otherwise, you must retain counsel and have a document review and discussion of your present situation in order to provide meaningful advice and options. During this pandemic, you have a choice of either seeing your attorney in person or by way of a secure state of the art Zoom Video Conference. So you don’t have to be restricted by geography anymore in terms of choosing an attorney. You can “Meet” your attorney online for an initial strategy session from the comfort of your own home. Through mail, e-mail and electronic filing almost everything can be done without leaving your home, for most types of cases. Pick the best attorney you can find and remember one rule:  a good attorney is generally never cheap, and a cheap attorney is generally never good so don't choose based on price.
