Urgent: Means Test vs. Disposable Income

[chewy96]

My previous chapter 13 wad dismissed in August because I did not make my payments on time. Today I am meeting with my attorney to file a new case.

I am 4,000 below the median income for my state (Virginia), BUT based on the allowable IRS calculations/deductions, it appears that I should have $500 per month of disposable income.

Does this mean that the trustee is going to object to my plan and put me in another 13 plan?

My total debt is only about 24,000.

Where is the $500 of disposable income showing? On your Means Test or on Schedules I&J?

Does this mean that the trustee is going to object to my plan and put me in another 13 plan?

If you file a case that shows $500 disposable income, then yes, it's very likely you are headed back into Ch 13.

My total debt is only about 24,000.

Why did you file Ch 13 originally? You are below the median income for VA - were you trying to save an asset that was behind on payments? Did your original filing show this much disposable income as well?
