Congrats!!! im am about 3 months away from my last payment ... there were times i didnt think id make it for 5 years but i did!!! so im right behind you as well
Congrats! So happy for you guys. We are 7 payments into our 60 months. Still can't see even a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel as we are not yet confirmed.
Sorry to hear that but you should be confirmed by now. What is going on? We confirmed the same afternoon as our 341.
Congrats on completing your 13 Ron. I feel relief now and can only imagine the feeling when we make the final payments.

@Spidge, Ch 13 confirmations can take quite a while to get to confirmation, especially when there are trustee and/or creditor objections involved or finances change significantly after filing and the original plan has to be amended. Your local court is one that confirms the day of the 341. Most Ch 13s are confirmed at a special confirmation hearing 3-4 weeks after the 341 (sometimes longer in a court with lots of filings).
Check out my signature - our confirmation came 15 months after we filed. What you have to realize is that it really didn't matter to us. We just kept making our monthly payments on time until our judge finally officially ruled on two trustee objections and confirmed our plan.
Bankruptcy is not a fast journey. Patience is key to surviving because the courts move at their own glacial pace. There's very little - often nothing - you or your lawyer can do to make things move along any faster.
@Kuya - hang in there. Check with your lawyer periodically to see how things are progressing to confirmation. You'll make it and until then, just keep making your payments on time and working on implementing a great budget.
@Ron - apologies for highjacking your thread. Hopefully this helps some of our newer 13ers who are wondering about Ch 13 confirmation timelines and causes for delays.
I am not a lawyer and this is not legal advice nor a statement of the law - only a lawyer can provide those.
