By law, the debtor has a maximum of 30 days to begin the payments. Even if the plan is as yet unconfirmed by the court, the debtor must begin. If any adjustments to the plan occur later, the payments must be adjusted. Now, we come to the scenario: what happens if a payment is missed?

The court can dismiss the petition. The debtor loses the automatic stay. The creditors can begin collection procedures. The creditors can foreclose on loans. The creditors can request account seizures.

By law, the debtor can petition the courts to maintain the bankruptcy, or re-file (at debtor cost). But, as always, communication, communication, communication is the greatest tool a debtor has with his or her lawyer and the trustee. As soon as the debtor knows that a payment to the trustee is going to be missed or fall short in amount, the debtor must contact both the lawyer and the trustee. The debtor will do well to have a plan to catch up very quickly. Does the trustee have to accommodate the debtor? Not in the least. Might the trustee somehow accommodate the debtor? Yes. Debtors must realize that the trustee is obligated to the courts for exemplary execution of assigned tasks. The trustee is NOT on the debtor's side. Again, here is where the trust meets reality. The debtor submitted and agreed to the plan. Failure is really not an option.
