"Arizona Filing Chapter 13"
Once the fee is paid and case number assigned in an Arizona bankruptcy case, deadlines for submitting a proposed
plan and meeting with the creditors begin counting downward. Debtors must prove their ability to make plan
payments from disposable income, after living allowances, for the duration of the plan.
| 11 U.S.C. §1326 provides, in part, "(a) (1) Unless the court orders otherwise, the debtor
shall commence making the payments proposed by a plan within 30 days after the plan is filed. (2) A payment
made under this subsection shall be retained by the trustee until confirmation or denial of confirmation of
a plan. If a plan is confirmed, the trustee shall distribute any such payment in accordance with the plan as
soon as practicable. If a plan is not confirmed, the trustee shall return any such payment to the debtor,
after deducting any unpaid claim allowed under section 503(b) of this title." |
