Re: bankruptcy 13

Yes, you should contact the attorney that filed your chapter 13 bankruptcy and explain your situation to them. Your attorney can file a motion with the court asking to temporarily suspend you plan payments due to the loss of employment. If you don't know, you may also want to ask your attorney how much longer you have in your plan, since most plans run three years (but can run as long as five under certain circumstances).
