Re: being taken to small claims court

Just bring a notice of the bankruptcy filing with you. If the creditor wants any money they have to file a claim through your chapter 13 bankruptcy. When the case is called just show the attorney and the judge the notice and they will most likely continue the case to make sure your chapter 13 case gets confirmed.
