Michael:
What do you mean by this?

Are you referring to the six month reinvestment requirement?
please don't make things up as you go along.

The Chapter 13 Trustee eats up 10% of distributions, the Chapter 7 Trustee eats up roughly 5-6% of distributions but if you can sell in a 13 and have escrow pay off the secured lender + lienholders, then I *believe* a Chapter 13 Trustee does not ask for payment of his/her 10% since the Trustee did not distribute anything.

She has a potential buyer and hopes to sign purchase agreement this week. If the lenders agree to the sale, all she will be left with will the be unpaid portion of the government liens and about $55000 in credit card debt. Query, sell the house in CH 13 or convert to a CH 7 to sell the house in order to wipe out all unsecured debt. Income-wise she qualifies for a Ch7. She didn't file a 7 because she knew lender would file a motion for relief of stay. She owes over $100k in arrears.
