End of Plan - Payroll Deductions

[slim]

Hi - my plan is hitting 100% shortly. How does my payroll get notified to stop sending payments? Does the court issue another order to them?

This entirely depends on your District. Personally, I would immediately contact my attorney and ask specifically what needs to be done. in some Districts, the Chapter 13 Standing Trustee is the one that files the Order Vacating Wage Deduction Order. In other Districts, it is the responsibility of the debtor (or debtor's attorney)!

Call the trustee! This got my wage directive stopped and my discharge processes in under 30 days.

Thanks for the advice!

Took my trustee 3 months to stop wage order after plan was completed, and only then because I contacted the trustee's office, who knows how long it would have gone on otherwise. I got a nice refund check back afterwards, but was still a hassle, so I'd also suggest contacting the trustee.

I live in Texas and my trustee sent my employer a letter stopping the deduction the week before last. My attorney had told us to let them know when we were paid in full but our trustee beat everyone to it. Our plan is closed but not discharged yet.
