Confirmation refers to the court approving your repayment plan. If confirmation is denied, it means the court has not approved your plan as it currently stands. This could be due to various reasons, such as the plan not meeting legal requirements or being deemed unfeasible.

The alternative motion to reduce attorney fees might be based on the argument that your attorney did not effectively assist in getting the plan confirmed.

It's also important to discuss with your attorney the implications of this motion and the best course of action moving forward.

If you're not clear on the reasons for the denial of confirmation or the implications of this motion, it's important to seek clarification from your attorney. They should provide you with a clear explanation and guidance on how to proceed, including potentially modifying your repayment plan to meet the court's requirements.
