Where do plan payments go upon dismissal or conversion to 7?

If a chap 13 case gets dismissed, amended (to a lower payout) or converted to a chap 7 during the 3-year term, can anyone tell me what happens to the plan payments that have been made up to that point?

All plan payments that you make up to the point your amended plan is approved by the court or your plan is converted to Ch 7 stay with your trustee and are distributed by your trustee to your creditors. If you are wondering if you get the money you've already paid in back after plan amendment or conversion, no, you do not. (Sorry.)

Thanks, I was really just wondering if they gave you credit for it, more or less if you ended up in a 7. Or do they go back and start from scratch? For instance, could it be applied towards things that HAVE to be paid. Like attorneys fees and taxes.
