In a Chapter 13, for example, if you have 20 debts that total $40,000, and you list them all in your BK, if only 12 creditors reply and those amounts total $10,000, is your monthly repayment plan based on the $10,000 of debt? (I know attorney & trustee fees are built in.)
I guess what I'm asking is if the attorney did the means test and gathered up all the bills and calculated an x amount to be repaid, I am assuming that would be if all the creditors responded?
Also, is it the means test that decides whether you enter into a 36 or 60 month plan?
