What happens when you miss a bankruptcy court date due to hospitalization?

If a meeting of creditors is missed it is usually continued once. If a motion in court is missed the judge might have rules against you.

What can I do if I can't afford chapter 13 payment and my attorney won't help?

Write a letter to your bankruptcy Judge that the attorney you paid to do your 13 will not talk to you or process your case. He will wish he never heard of you but I am sure the Judge will get on him or her and make them do their job or face Court sanctions. It sounds like your plan has not yet been confirmed. If your case gets dismissed before it is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will probably send the money to your attorney. The procedure for this varies from one Bankruptcy Court to the next. Call your chapter 13 trustee. First tell the chapter 13 trustee that your attorney refuses to do work on your case. Then ask the chapter 13 trustee what happens to your money if dismissed after confirmation. They know it is your money, so you may be able to get it sent to you. If you didn't pay much to start, your attorney who won't work for you will probably just take the money and claim he earned it. After your plan is confirmed, the chapter 13 trustee will disburse the money. Most will probably go to your present attorney for fees initially.

One of my creditors has sent one of my accounts

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
Don't take legal advice from your creditors.   That's rule #1.   If you file a bankruptcy case and receive a discharge, the discharge will include all debts that you owed on the date your bankruptcy case is filed.  So, if you incurred the debt you mentioned in May 2013 and file your Chapter 13 after that, the debt should be discharged unless it falls into one of the types of debts excepted from discharge. These exceptions include debts incurred through fraud, domestic support obligations, certain taxes and others.   As a final thought, if your lawyer is too busy to answer your questions, you may have picked the wrong attorney. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.
