If you have filed a Chapter 13 with a Chester County bankruptcy lawyer, you will have to constantly communicate with your lawyer to make sure things progress properly.
Some reasons why a bankruptcy get dismissed are
- unreasonable delay by the debtor that is prejudicial to creditors
- nonpayment of filing fee (check with your lawyer on this)
- failure to timely file a plan with the Trustee
- failure to commence making timely payments under the plan or proposed plan (most common)
- denial of confirmation of a plan and denial of time for filing another plan or modifying the proposed plan
- material "default" by the debtor with respect to a term of a confirmed plan
- revocation of the oder of confirmation and denial of confirmation of a modified plan
- termination of a confirmed plan by reason of the occurrence of a condition specified in the plan, other than the completion of payments under the plan (rare)
- only on the motion of the U.S. Trustee, failure to timely file the schedules and other information required, or
- failure of the debtor to pay a domestic support obligation that first became payable after the filing of the Chester County bankruptcy
As you can see, some of these issues rest solely with your bankruptcy attorney and others relate to your efforts. Make sure you check with your lawyer and make sure you know what your obligations are in your Chapter 13 bankruptcy.
