Ok..here's the deal...long post, sorry.
I am 13 months into a 3-year Chapter 13 repayment plan. As most of you know, I am a single parent. The drastic drop in my income due to my Ch. 13 payments coming out of my paycheck has made my life very difficult. I lost a large portion of my paycheck to this, and what's left after the Ch. 13 payment, taxes, and health/life insurance is barely enough to scrape by on. I receive child support, so when that comes in once a month, we scramble to pay bills, get as many groceries as we can, etc.
