DEBTOR NOTICE!
​FOR DEBTORS WITH QUESTIONS ABOUT YOUR CHAPTER 13 PAYMENTS

The Office of the Chapter 13 Trustee, Krispen S. Carroll, understands that many debtors may have had interruptions in regular income due to the Covid-19 restrictions imposed by the State of Michigan.  If you are unable to make your regular payment due to loss of a job, you do not need to contact our office to provide that information.  Temporary gaps in otherwise regular payments will not result in the filing of a Motion To Dismiss (MTD) during this crisis. 
 
If your inability to make payments is likely to extend beyond the next several weeks, debtors are encouraged to contact their attorney.  Any formal suspension or modification of your current payment obligation requires approval of the court which can be obtained only through your attorney.  Please direct all questions requesting any suspension or reduction of payments to your attorney.
