- Episode 264:Thirteen Ways to Have a Successful Chapter 13
Every year, the American Bankruptcy Institute (ABI) hosts a 2-day Continuing Education Seminar on bankruptcy law, The Alexander L. Paskay Memorial Bankruptcy Seminar. Each seminar produces multiple topics that I bring to you in different episodes of the show.
This week, one topic we discussed was how to confirm Chapter 13 (payment plan) bankruptcies faster. So I brainstormed thirteen ways to confirm (successfully complete) a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, including:
- Have All Your Documents
- Get Pay Off quotes from all Secured Creditors Prior to Filing
- Send Filed Tax Returns to the Trustee Annually
- Have Stability in your Income & Expenses
- Make Your Chapter 13 Payments
- Listen to Your Attorney
- Cooperate with Creditors
- Cooperate with the Trustee
- Be Honest With Your Attorney
- Review Documents Filed by Creditors
- Estimate Accurately Before Filing
- Communicate After the Case is Over
- Check Your Credit
Are there any that I missed? Let me know and I'll update this episode at a future date.
