I could be wrong but I believe so as you're incurring new debt. You could call and ask your attorney -- (just a question of curiosity).

Congratulations for a successful pro se filing and for being done! Enjoy your new financial freedom.

@anunezal...thanks for the clarification....I should've known the fee was for the quarter (not by the month) . Credit card claims will come in up to the deadline...so it could be a waiting game. Don't look at pacer all the time..it can be costly and drive you crazy.

Macc404 - congratulations for taking the first step to financial freedom. We look forward to hearing about your journey and helping you with any questions you may have....

Hi anunezal ...if you check pacer (and don't do it often) you don't want to run up charges (I believe it's $15/month no charge)...it will show you the date claims need to be made by. If any of your creditors (except the secured ones) don't file by that date, you won't be paying them.

anunezal - I know you asked Carmella but I'll share my experience. I was in a 100% payback plan and chase did not file. It did in fact shorten my 5 year plan...and I also managed to pay some of the plan down and completed the plan in 4 years. good luck to you as you start the journey to freedom...

I'm sorry for the reason but happy it is a unexpected help for you. Hope you're doing well ...

Congratulations...good inspiration for people just starting the journey.

Another Chase survivor . It was nice, they didn't file a claim for 20,000. Good luck going forward.

That's great...I like it when changes are actually helpful for the users. I hope all is well with you Carmella

I think you will decide what works best for you without putting yourself in an uncomfortable position. I'm glad you're second job has picked up . Congratulations as you get close to the mortgage payoff.

You had enough to pay the bill and that's great...i'm cheering for you as you head towards the finish line!!!

Congratulations..sounds like things are going great. It's inspirational to hear from people that a new life after bk can and does happen

Hi lukesy...I am very sorry for the loss of your parents. I think all you can do is wait to see what is decided when you receive the inheritance check. Hopefully, if it's decided the money has to go to the plan, it won't be all of it. I was in a 100 % payback plan and when I was in car accident...

Hi and welcome to your journey to financial freedom! As you wrote, the trustee can pay your claims however he/she chooses to. It has no effect on you whatsoever. Just relax and know your trustee is doing their job Good luck going forward.

Awesome...you'll be able to move on and not worry about this anymore. Was it nice getting a full check again ? ...

Just be sure to read the fine print...it's not always as great as they advertise it to be.
