Re: underline fees

Sounds like a Chapter 13. Generally, all Ch. 13 fees have to be approved by the court and are paid by the trustee from your plan payments. You may well have signed a retainer agreement acknowledging that services in addition to filing and plan confirmation (lien stripping, lift stays, etc) are extra, and it is likely that your atty. is due compensation for these services. However, they have to be approved by the Court. You do not owe them unless there is an order saying you do.
