What happens if a debtor is unable to complete the chapter 13 payments?
March 28, 2008
A debtor who is unable to complete the chapter 13 payments has three options:
- dismiss the chapter 13 case,
- convert the chapter 13 case to chapter 7, or
- if the debtor is unable to complete the payments due to circumstances for which he or she should not be held accountable, close the case and obtain a partial chapter 13 discharge as described in the answer to Question 6 above.
