Tuition Reimbursement & Chap. 13

If you've already filed Ch 13 BK, then your accts may have already been included in the BK. If that's the case, now it's up to the Creditors to file a claim. And then, the Trustee decides who gets how big of a piece of the pie.

If you've already filed, you're really out of the loop on this one.

We've already signed the paperwork, and the Attourney has already calculated our payment (no confirmation yet). I don't want to violate the plan, and I wouldn't as I've received no plan. I just want to get the remaining bills up to date ASAP. I'm probably going to risk using the money to get all of the non-dischargable bills current. I guess if the trustee (who I'm not in touch with at all) wants it back, I can pay it back by letting the bills get behind again

I've contacted the attourney with the question again and will wait a week before making any move I guess.

If you're talking about utilities and such,.......... You really need to check with your attny to see what the attny filed on your Creditors Matrix.

If you haven't been given a case number yet, your attny may not have filed your BK.

Going into the attny's office and signing the paperwork is not filing your BK.

We signed our papers on Tuesday afternoon. The attny had us leave the date blank as we found a couple of clerical errors and needed to update some debt amounts. The paralegal made those corrections when she got back in the office on Thursday and our BK was actually filed then. On Thursday.

If your attny has not filed your BK yet, and the payments are less than $600 to any one Creditor, you might be OK to catch up on your bills that are behind.

Personally, I'd only pay if it's a service you'll continue using. Like utilities, phone, a doctor or hospital bill, or such. People you want to continue doing business with on a regular basis.

I appreciate the advice. I feel like I had 1000 questions going into this thing. At least I only have a few left to answer now. This forum proved very useful to me, and I'd like to thank everyone who contributed to it's content

I have been issued a case number and am waiting on a hearing date. I'm just hoping that I can stabalize everything and get back on my feet (with my marriage my and finances). I'm sure I can get through this bankruptcy, but I have some hard decisions to make about my marriage especially in this dreadful community property state.
