Post petition simply refers to anything after the date the petition was filed. If the case has been dismissed, you should be able to contact the individual creditors to get your account balances. If any payments were made on these debts by the trustee while you were in the chapter 13, make sure they are properly credited.

Post petition referrs to things that occurred after you filed bankruptcy. To obtain information about the remaining balances after your Chapter 13 was dismissed, you will have to contact each creditor individually.

The term "post petition" refers to anything that happens after the bankruptcy petition is filed. To find account balances you will need to contact the creditors directly.

I am not sure what you are asking. Please understand that bankruptcy is a very complicated process. It is wise to talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney before deciding to take this important step. I am attaching a link to some free videos that explain how bankruptcy works: http://www.dianedrain.com/bankruptcy-for-an-individual/ Most Arizona consumer bankruptcy attorneys offer a free consultation about the basics of bankruptcy. Please take time to educate yourself about bankruptcy and to determine which attorney is the best to assist you in the process. Don't assume the attorney is being completely honest about their experience and capabilities. Check them out. Avoid the attorneys who advertise on TV or profess a 100% success rate in their Internet ads. It costs hundreds or thousands of dollars for these ads and someone has to pay for them - the clients. These attorneys mass produce the work and do not offer the client the hands on assistance that is necessary in a well-planned bankruptcy. Normally these firms assign all or most of the work to paralegals and the client rarely talks to an attorney. When interviewing the attorney ask them how long they have practiced bankruptcy law. Ask what percentage of their practice is focused on consumer work. Ask whether they are experienced in both chapter 7 and chapter 13 cases. Ask the attorney for references. Ask about their policy of returning phone calls. They should be committed to answering specific questions about your situation and help you understand your options. If, after talking with them you are still confused about the issues you raised, find another attorney. Check them out with the various ranking sources: such as www.AVVO.com, and the State Bar. An attorney is should be your guide through this process. They should educate you, be there to assist you in how to avoid pitfalls and help you plan for your future after bankruptcy. There are hundreds of "bankruptcy" attorneys in Arizona. Of those just a few will fit the criteria set forth above. Again, bankruptcy is a very complicated process and you want to use an attorney who will be there when you need them.

Post-petition usually refers to debts that accrue after the chapter 13 case is filed. For instance, post-petition mortgage payments are usually paid outside of the chapter 13 plan and directly to the mortgage holder.

Post petition means after the bankruptcy petition was filed. I don't really understand the rest of what you are asking.
