How Can You Make the Right Chapter 13 Payment Plan in Missouri and Illinois?
By: JamesBrown | Posted: 30th April 2010
Part of the Chapter 13 process in Missouri and Illinois includes proposing a repayment plan for your creditors and to finally get out from under your debt. Your chatper 13 payment plan must, however, stay within the rules and requirements in order to be confirmed by the judge.
A trustee or creditor can file an objection after filing the plan if it doesn't meet the requirements. Whoever is objecting will request that the original Chapter 13 plan be changed to fit their objection--and if the judge agrees, you must fix your plan or your case will be dismissed.
You cannot simply ignore an objection to your Missouri or Illinois Chapter 13 payment plan. Believe it or not, people filing by themselves or inexperienced bankruptcy attorneys in St. Louis often do, resulting in the dismissal of the case.
So, how should an objection be addressed? A St. Louis or Wentzville, Missouri bankruptcy attorney will first evaluate the objection and then decide on a plan of action: either file an amended plan or argue with the objection. If the judge agrees with the creditor, an amended plan must be filed. On the other hand, the original plan will stand if the judge rules in favor of the debtor and overrules the creditor. The best bankruptcy attorneys will make sure that the path they choose to handle your objections is in your best interest--and is a decision the judge will accept.
After an attorney has worked so long with the same judges, he or she can typically figure out what the judge will and won't approve and, thusly, make sure you have a plan that can be confirmed. Making a great plan the first time around certainly gets you protection from foreclosure, credit card debt help, and relief from creditors even faster.
The attorneys that typically have success with Chapter 13 cases in Missouri and Illinois have one thing in common: a system set in place to address all objections and possible amendments well before the deadline. The time restrictions for Chapter 13 cases are strict and meeting them is vital to avoiding the dismissal of your case—and loss of your protection.
How can you find an attorney that will help your case be as successful as possible? You can feel good about your choice of lawyer by reading positive client testimonials, seeing great results like high confirmation rates, and even reading free information that that attorney has made available.
