Making payments on a debt during bankruptcy?

[SevenFilerCA]

I am a member of a union which has an initiation fee of several thousand dollars. You can pay this in installments, and at the time of my bankruptcy, I had about $1200 left, and included it as a debt in my petition, because I knew I wasn't supposed to hide or omit any debt.

I am on disability and may be coming off disability in the next month and my union is expecting me to start paying again as soon as I am off disability. If I come off disability before my case is settled, is it okay for me to start paying on this debt or am I legally supposed to wait until the discharge is complete? I think even if it is discharged, they will expect me to keep making payments.

Post discharge, you may pay anyone you please.
If you've already had your 341 meeting I'd say go ahead and pay.

You are half right, 'keepmine'. "POST" discharge ONLY. Believe me, I got caught paying my god-daughter as she helped us. It was after 341 and I got to pay my Trustee the exact same payment as my god-daughter as a preferential payment and insider payment. They could have dismissed me.

Let me tell you, the Union will wait on their money. What's a Union for if it isn't to get your money. 'Hub
