Stop paying unsecured now?

[basketsbears]

Hi,

I am meeting with two attorneys on Friday and will probably pick one of those for our BK.
Since we are sure we are going to file, should we stop paying unsecured now? We are going to double check with attorney first (we met with one last Spring and he said to keep paying everything). We won't file until at least after 12/25 in case we are a chapter 13 so we can cram down our vehicle.

It feels so weird to think we wouldn't be paying them. So the extra we would be saving we can use for the attorney's fees and possibly some Christmas gifts???

Thanks!

The old wisdom is that one should stop paying the unsecured the moment they know that the BK filing is around the corner, which seems to be applicable to your case.

Good luck to us all.
