California  |  Bankruptcy

Generally, unsecured nonpriority debts are treated the same. Unless you were a government agency entitled to taxes or a former spouse entitled to child support, your debt probably would be classified in the last group.

You could object to the plan if you're aware of income or assets that the debtor hadn't stated on the petition. If the debt had been incurred by fraud or intentional harm to you, you could file a motion for relief from stay and/or determination of dischargeability of your debt. Otherwise, you would make a claim and, if any assets show up, you could get some recovery. Also, the bankruptcy might just not fly, in which case you would again be able to pursue your judgment in civil court.
