I live in Phoenix Arizona and I filed a petition for Chapter 13 BK -- 5-year plan. I will complete 3 years of this plan in February 2013 afterwhich I plan on submitting a Voluntary Dismissal. I am reaching out to the Forum to see if anyone has had experience with this or can share the Pros/Cons. Reason for Voluntary Dismissal: Plan Base has been met.Each unsecured claimant has been paid 33% of what is owed. (100% of the secured mortgage claim file was paid).It took the Trustee a year and 7 months to respond to the Meeting of Creditors with his Trustee Recommendations (Conforming Plan). I believe by law he is supposed to respond within 35 days.Reason for filing Chapter 13: Combination of lay-off, move to Phoenix for kidney transplant, COBRA and medical bills.Found a job late 2008 (25% pay cut), but medical bills were way too much to handle.Timing Info: Feb 2010: Chapter 13 Petition & Plan filed.March 2010: First 341 meeting / submitted 2009 federal/state tax refunds / submitted 1st monthly payment.Dec 2011: Case confirmed*.Case Info: Attorney Fees = $4,000 ($2,000 up front).Plan Base = $18,000 (initially $15,000 but was raised when Conforming Plan was approved).Total Paid into Plan = $19,053 (includes Federal/State refunds)Total Paid to all Parties = $19,203 (includes remaining $2,000 Attorney fees + $820 Trustee fees)Total Paid to Creditors = $16,203 (NOTE: if necessary I am willing to pay the additional $1,797 to bring the total to $18K.)The Conforming Plan required that I also submit my tax refunds which I have done 3 times to date.Attorneys: Early 2009 I found a law firm and on my first visit I was told I made too much money for both Chapter 7 & 13. I was advised to stop the additional freelance work I was getting and come back in 6 months. I went back in 6 months and started the paperwork for a chapter 13. The Law Firm said I needed to decide prior to signing the papers whether we would communicate via phone or via Email, and I chose Email because I figured it would be a better way of documenting everything. The Law Firm that is representing me on a scale from 1-10 (1 being the worst) rates a 2.5 at best. This rating is based on the following: Between March 2010 and March 2011 I passed off to 7 different attorneys (without notification).I have to beg them to do the work. (I have documentation to verify this).Trustee Recommendations/Conforming Plan was approved/filed by my lawyer without my consent or signature despite me continually notifying them it contained an error. The Conforming Plan included my Mortgage company (I missed one payment in January 2010 in order to retain my lawyer). I paid the mortgage company this missed payment in Februray 2011 and notified my attorneys of this payment in March 2011 which was 6 months prior to the Trustee Recommendations. Therefore the missed payment should not have been a claim included in the Conforming Plan.It takes them forever to answer my emails.I figure for $4,000 they should be expected to do their job. Any help, suggestions, comments will be greatly appreciated. Thank you, SLYDE
