Please remember that although the Chapter 13 Trustee and staff are dedicated to helping you successfully complete your Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Plan, we cannot provide you with legal advice. Therefore, it is critical that you maintain good communication with your attorney as you work toward achieving that important goal. If you do not have an attorney to represent you, we strongly encourage you to retain one.

  1. The Trustee's philosophy and role in your Chapter 13 case

  2. What to expect during your Chapter 13 case

  3. Where, how and when to make payments

  4. Potential pitfalls to avoid for a successful case

  5. How to monitor the progress of your Chapter 13 plan
