I would contact NASA and see what is going on. Further in regards to the traffic ticket please google search or see the article below you may be able to get that deleted. Others may chime in and tell you a bit more about the pay for delete process or dispute process, I know there is a specific way to go about medical collections but we arent allowed to discuss it here.
Try searching online for the CEO of NASA FCU email address send an email explaining you situation. If the auto pay processed it should show on your statement or online account when it was made.
Based on your post, it doesn't sound like you have a debt problem. It sounds like one of two other problems: income problem or organizational (budget) problem. Neither income nor budget problems can be solved by filing bankruptcy.
Have you put together a buget? Paying 29 days late every month is playing with fire.
In my opinion taking the parent plus loan is not a wise decision. You are creating a bill for your mom and it will accrue interest. Also, it's not solving the problem of your income or your budget. You should really focus on that.
If your mom does take the parent plus loan for you and you are due a refund, why not apply it back to the loan to reduce the principal and the interest that is accruing?
Budget and income problems are much easier to solve. Plus the skills you need to solve each of these (budget and income) are used throughout your lifetime as your income and budget changes. To change your income - pick up a second job, even part time and it will greatly help. Try Uber or Lyft or something else. I know you are in school but one of the critical skills is learning self reliance. Borrowing additional funds under the Parent Plus loan is not a good idea. You are shifting the responsiblity over to your Mom rather than fixing the debt issue now while it is smaller and easier to handle. Throwing the debt into a student loan is the worst thing to do because now the debt is not dischargeable - which closes off or more accurately, reduces the effectiveness of the Bk option for you if you need it in the future.
Try YNAB to set up a budget.
If you aren't making enough income you only have two options: reduce your expenses and/or increase your income. Once you set up your budget, come back here and let us help you. I still think you can do this without filing Bk - and without borrowing more money.
Keep in mind: You can not borrow your way out of debt.
