    Time Table of a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Case
Automatic Stay   Upon the filing of your bankruptcy case, you are immediately protected from most, but not all, collection actions against you and your property. If you previously filed for bankruptcy relief and the case was pending during the year before the filing of a new case, the automatic stay will terminate in certain respects unless a motion is filed with the bankruptcy court and granted within 30 days after the filing of the new case. If you had two or more cases pending within the year prior to filing a third case, there will be no automatic stay except upon court order.
Exceptions to the Automatic Stay
The following are some of the items that are not automatically stayed by the filing of your bankruptcy case: criminal cases, certain actions regarding alimony, maintenance or support, and governmental police or regulatory actions.

 Creditors Meeting  About 6 weeks after your bankruptcy case is filed, you must attend the "creditors' meeting" (34l meeting) at the Federal Building. This is generally just a short meeting with your bankruptcy trustee and any creditors who choose to attend.  In most cases, no creditors bother to attend.  Your Bankruptcy Judge will not attend. You must bring your original social security card, driver’s license,  and proof of payment of your chapter 13 plan payments.  Length of Chapter 13 Plan  Chapter 13 plan are usually for a period of 3 to 5 years. This length of the plan depends of various factors, including your income, the amount of your non-exempt property, and what you are trying to achieve in chapter 13 plan.  Discharge Order After you complete your chapter 13 plan, the trustee will issue a report of your plan completion. Shortly thereafter, your chapter 13 discharge will be entered and your case closed.
