Looking to file very soon, meeting with Attorney to start paperwork this Thursday and I have a few questions.
1. Can I let my creditors know that I'm filing chapter 13 before it's actually filed. I am making a small payment to my attorney this week but I have to pay at least $575 before he will even file and I still have to take the class which is another $35. I am worried that before I file that some of the creditors will try to seek judgement which can lead them to be secured creditors.
2. Will my financial aid be affected by filing chapter 13. I'm going to be starting my last year for my masters and I have to get financial aid.
3. I'm worried about my bank accounts because i've read some stories about accounts being frozen. I work at the bank that my direct deposit goes into and I also have a charged off account with the bank from awhile ago that I have to list in my chapter 13. I'm afraid once they get the notice that they will freeze my account. I don't keep high balances but the only way to get my pay is through direct deposit with the bank only.
4. Second if all of the creditors don't file a claim will the set payment amount decrease or does that mean more for other creditors. I have several online payday loans that aren't even legal in my state and I'm assuming they will not file a claim.
