Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a popular type of bankruptcy that gives filers breathing room to get their finances back on track. If you have filed for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it is vital to take great care to comply with the terms of the plan to avoid serious legal and financial consequences.
Jacksonville Bankruptcy Court Payment Due Date
Paying on Time
Was your Chapter 13 filed in Orlando, Jacksonville, or Tampa Bankruptcy Court? If so, your planned payment is due within 30 days of filing your case. It does not matter if you haven’t attended your meeting of creditors yet – the trustee must receive your payment, and it’s your job to make sure the money is received.
If your payment does not arrive on time, you may have problems with your Chapter 13 case.
Typical Bankruptcy Payment Plan Details
Most Florida consumers are in a plan of 36 months or 60 months, depending on their income. Plans can not extend for more than 60 months after your bankruptcy, so once you reach that limit, it is over. (What Florida consumer wants to be in Chapter 13 bankruptcy for more than 5 years, anyway?)
All payments generally are made by ACH through a third party provider called TFS at www.tfsbillpay.com.
I can find solutions to keep clients on track with their bankruptcy filings in Florida.
What is the best way to ensure your payment plan in Chapter 13 is on time?
Setting up an ACH withdrawal through TFSBillpay.com is the best way to ensure prompt payment each month.
I assist my clients from Central Florida with wage deduction orders on a regular basis to help the process go smoothly and correctly. Although wage deduction is unwelcome and unpleasant for most, statistics demonstrate it to be effective. According to the data, those who have wage deduction plans are more likely to complete their Chapter 13 bankruptcies than those who do not.
