The question of whether or not you can make payments outside of the chapter 13 bankruptcy plan is dependent upon the policy in the District Court where you're filing your case. In some courts, they require that all mortgage payments be made through the chapter 13 trustee. In other courts, they will allow payments be made outside the plan if it is made through automatic deduction and has been so for a period of time. I would suggest that you contact an attorney in the jurisdiction where you live for further assistance. Chapter 13 cases can be complicated and the rules are numerous. You should have good legal representation.
