Under chapter 13, creditors are usually paid out of the debtor’s income and not from the debtor’s property. However, if a debtor has valuable nonexempt property and has insufficient income to pay enough to creditors to satisfy the court, some of the debtor’s property may have to be used to pay creditors.

There is a $189.00 filing fee charged when the case is filed, which may be paid through payments made to the Trustee if necessary. In addition, the Chapter 13 Trustee collects a fee to help pay for the administrative costs of your plan. This fee is charged on all payments made under the plan, except for payments on first mortgages for your home. These fees are in addition to the legal fees charged by our office to represent you in the filing of your Chapter 13 case. Normally, the filing fee, Trustee’s fee and legal fees are all paid out of the payments you make to the Trustee under your plan. This allows you to start your Chapter 13 case with no money down. If part of your filing fees and legal fees are to be paid up front, the attorney will discuss this with you.
