When I filed for Chapter 13, it was to be for 36 months, and the plan called for repayment of X amount of dollars and am starting my 35th month. I have now surpassed that amount (by several thousand dollars). I was told early on by my attorney that if I paid more money on my plan than called for (through income tax or inheritance), that the case could be discharged earlier than the 36 months. My question is: Does the trustee ever discharge it early, and will I receive any or all of the overpayment back?
