"Colorado Chapter 13 Payments"
Following confirmation of a plan, all Colorado bankruptcy cases filed under Chapter 13 require regular payments
to a trustee. All "disposable income" must be paid to the trustee, according to definitions, guidelines and
discretion allowed each court.
| 11 U.S.C. §1326(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." |
NOTE: Spanish language forms and information may be obtained from a various websites, including the United
State Department of Justice, Administrative Office of the U.S. Courts, and other US Court sites. Regarding these
forms, the Colorado Bankruptcy Court advises "While we have no reason to believe that these Spanish language
forms or information have been translated inaccurately, only the English language forms are officially
prescribed by the Judicial Conference of the United States Courts. Accordingly, the Court for the District of
Colorado can not guarantee the accuracy or sufficiency of information contained in Spanish language forms or
informational documents." The Colorado Bankruptcy Court also maintains a pro bono program to assist qualified
debtors with adversary proceedings (not available to file petitions to initiate Ch. 7 or 13 cases).
