Also, when filing Chapter 13 you have to keep in contact with them if the wife and I were to get any pay increases, if so they'll be able to adjust our income and disposable income, it would have been a mess.

Jesus, that's still not great.
So did not having renter's insurance **** you? Or wouldn't it have mattered as they could have claimed negligence on your part anyway?
