What if the Bankruptcy Court does not approve a filed chapter 13 plan?
If the Bankruptcy Court will not approve the Chapter 13 plan proposed by a debtor, the debtor may modify the plan and seek Bankruptcy Court approval of the modified plan. The Bankruptcy Court will usually give specific reasons for refusing to confirm th e chapter 13 plan. This affords the debtor the ability to appropriately modify the chapter 13 plan in a manner that is acceptable to the Bankruptcy Court. A debtor who does not wish to modify a proposed plan may either convert the plan to chapter 7 or dismiss the case.
