Conversion Process — Chapter 13 to Chapter 7
When you decide to file for a conversion from a chapter 13 to a chapter 7 there is a process that has to be taken. First there are attorney fees that you have to come up with to get it converted that will cover the costs of getting the paperwork done. Once you pay the fee to convert the case, then a notice of conversion is filed with the courts. This tells the court that you are intending to convert the case to a chapter 7. Once the notice is filed, you now wait for the Judge to sign the conversion order. Once the order is signed, it is now time for you to come in and update your paperwork so that we can sign the amended schedules with the court. Also once the order is signed, you will have a meeting of creditors to attend. Yes another meeting that you have to go to, to finish this process out.
