"Colorado Filing Chapter 13"
Once the fee is paid and case number assigned in a Colorado 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." |
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).
