Can I file a motion to dismiss before the creditors' meeting, or do I have to file an objection first? I haven't filed anything yet.
I am a creditor in chapter 13 bankruptcy filing (2nd time around) and want to know if I can object to the petition and also make a motion to dismiss in one document -- or do I have to make two separate documents?

Two separate documents. Objection in one and Motion to Dismiss in second. Serve all motions on the trustee and debtor.

You can, but probably not a wise idea unless your 13 repayment plan is 100%.

Anyone with enough money to invest in general obligation bonds issued by the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico should have enough time to call their bond broker and ask them to explain what is happening to all the bondholders.

If they filed a proof of claim for $2600 and you paid it and completed the plan, then you don’t owe the money. You need to put this back in front of the court and get an order against them for violating the stay.

filing of Ch 7 -not support related & not found in contempt- I didn't list him as a creditor because he wasn't at that time, but I did serve him notice of my filing at the time - and he had already filed the motion for legal fees - but the judge didn't issue ruling for over 2 years -

You will have to reopen bankruptcy and add the lawyers a creditor. He should have been listed as a creditor in the original filing even though the amount owed may have not been liquidated at the time.
Told by CFO they are bankrupt. How & where do we file a claim? Have searched bankruptcy filings but can't find anything. Total owed is $5000. Thanks, Joe G.

You will have to find the bankruptcy filing. Once located you can file a proof of claim for her wages in that proceeding. She is a creditor so if she hasn’t received notice of bankruptcy filing, they probably haven’t filed.

The only significant debt was the mortgage arrears. We are starting the trial modification and are unsure whether or not we need to continue paying on the Chapter 13 while in the trial modification.

answered on Sep 26, 2018
Yes you need to keep paying the chapter 13 trustee to remain the bankruptcy.

answered on Sep 16, 2018
Amounts vary widely, but roughly $335 for filing, $20 for pre- and post classes, $33 for credit report, and $500-1500 in attorney fees.
