Expense Question-Student Loan Payment

[vrspartak]

I have a quick question about filling out the expense forms. I plan on filing Ch. 7 next month. However, I have not yet begun repaying my student loans. The grace period actually ends next month as well. Am I allowed to include my student loan payment as an expense, even though I have not begun paying it yet? Or should I wait until I make my first payment to file? Thanks.

It all depends on your district and/or Trustee. I was allowed to include my SL payment in my monthly expenses. Ask your attorney.

I included mine and I filed pro se in the No. Dist. CA.
