I filed for a Dismissal against a Chapter 13 on 18 April 2013. Payments are still being deducted from my payroll and I learned today that the judge signed off on my dismissal last week. It is now almost the end of May.

Talk to your bankruptcy attorney. If you do not have one, then talk to your trustee.

The Trustee will likely refund any payments that were not used to pay your debts within the next month or so.

The Chapter 13 Trustee will refund back to you any money that has not already been distributed to your creditors. If the case has not been confirmed by the court yet, then the Trustee has not yet distributed any of the money and will return 100% of what you have paid in.

Any money that the Trustee still has will be returned to you. If you confirmed a plan or had a car that the Trustee was making payments on prior to confirmation, then that money is gone.

Call the chapter 13 trustee's office and ask them. You will recieve an accounting of payments received and dispersed from that Trustee's office. But remember the volume of cases and complexity of these cases. Chapter 13 cases stop and change directions about as fast as a cruise ship. But, depending on the timing of notice of the dismissal, you should not have any additional payments deducted.

You should call the Chapter 13 trustee to arrange for an order to discontinue payments by wage deduction and also for the return of funds deducted after dismissal of the case.
