Five Points, CA Bankruptcy Law Firms & Lawyers

You really need to contact your current bankruptcy attorney to get your questions answered. In general, Chapter 13 can be converted to a Chapter 7 if the income and expenditures allow it. It is just a possible choice, conversion or dismissal, or stay in the plan.

Your question needs to provide more facts. Assuming that by "filed" you mean "discharged", my intuitive answer would be "why not." However, I would need more facts to figure out the answer.

Creditors don't want to arrest you for not paying the bill. After all, how could you pay at all if you are in prison? The creditor wants a judgment. It also wants to be paid something. You have to try and set up a payment plan that you can afford. In some cases, the creditor will not take less than a certain amount. I would not be afraid of getting arrested, just bad credit. That being said, if you get an order to appear, you must appear in court. Don't ignore that. I had a client in Glendale have a sheriff show up at his door because the client did not show up at a court hearing. The judge had issued a bench warrant because the client did not appear at a debtor's examination. That was a very isolated situation.
