Actually what happened is Allstate cut two checks, one to the lein holder which was for 1,398.00. Which paid the car off, and the remaining check for 2,578.00 went to the trustee. Once the check posts to my account, The trustee will let my attorney know that i have "excess" funds available, i already informed my attorney to use the money to pay off my account, and once that is done i will still receive well over 1,800. The only thing i hate is the long process that it takes for me to receive my money. The good thing is that my balance will be zero and I will be done with bankruptcy. Even though they will continue to take the money from my paycheck, I will get it back once the account is closed.
