I owe quite a bit on court costs and fines that resulted from a simple possession charge, I have been paying probation and part of the fines for almost a year. my question is does a chapter 13 bankruptcy cover these court costs/fine in the payment plan or do I still have to pay them in full by the end of my probationary period?
Possibility. Please understand that filing for a chapter 13 bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step.
It is up to you and your attorney to structure the plan in a Chapter 13. If you were my client I would be making plan payments in accordance with the proof of claim filed by the creditor.
