    Spoke to my lawyer today.........

    Told him that I was going to have to switch my status from filing chap 7 to chap 13. I asked him to give me an idea of monthly payments. He said that since I fell below my states median income that my payments will probably be about 5% for 3 years. Here is where I should have gotten a clearer answer from him...
    5% of what?
    5% of balance owed?
    5% of my gross income?
    5% of my disposable income???

    I am confused I suppose I will have to call him back, but I hate to be a pain in the ass. I suppose I should calm down and see how this all shakes out really. The difference between all 3 is about $100 a month. My best case scenerio is to have about $550 a month left over for grocery, gas, cigs and entertainment to $450 a month. That $100 could make a big difference though........

    Ugggg, I cant wait until this is done!!

    I am not sure but I THINK he meant 5% (of the balances) to the unsecured loans you have over 3 years - maybe a paralegal will jump in here...

      5% of your unsecured debt. The amount is determined by how much disposable income you have times 36 months divided by your total unsecured debt. Your monthly payment will be your disposable income amount.
