Q: I have a chapter 13. I am not able to make this monthly payment. I have a financial emergency. will my case be out
I have never missed a payment before. I have been short once, but never missed a payment. will my case be automatically dismissed. I've tried to get in touch with the trustee. . .line always busy.
A: No. It can be deferred until the end or recalculated under a plan modification.
A:
Generally, a Trustee won't file a motion to dismiss with one payment missed. You will need to make up that payment.
It can easily be done by adding some money to your next payment and doing so each month til you are caught up.
I hope that helps.
