Will this effect my warranty? My rebate? Do I have to join this lawsuit? I have until 1/28/22 as the deadline. Case # 21-23636
In a corporate Ch. 7 case, the corporation almost always ceases operation immediately, terminates its employees, etc., and a bankruptcy trustee steps in and liquidates the assets of the business.
Under these circumstances, your warranty is pretty much worthless. There's nobody there... Read more »
This question should be directed to your bankruptcy attorney.
At the moment a bankruptcy case is filed, the automatic stay is triggered. The stay prohibits all creditors from taking any action against you or your property to collect a dischargeable debt.
If a secured creditor, e.g., the holder of a lien on a vehicle, wants to repossess, it must... Read more »
I don’t have the money to fly to Oregon and get another lawyer to force him to refinance. I also learned he put the home in forbearance while the divorce was still processing. So now he has to either pay back 30 grand before he can refinance OR have me agree to sign papers to put that money on... Read more »
You need to consult your divorce attorney and move to hold him in contempt in the divorce case. He will likely have to hold you harmless on the debt regardless.
I am faced with having my monthly payment increase significantly and I am in a better position to pay my creditors 100%. I am thinking of asking for a voluntary dismissal but have some questions, pros and cons. First after dismissal I assume my creditors will come after me but can I negotiate to... Read more »
This is a question you should be asking your lawyer. No Lawyer? Get one.
I don't know your case so anything I make say could easily be wrong. Someone familiar with your file should take a look

I had my wage garnishment lowered by the bankruptcy court and almost 2 months later, my employer still has not lowered the amount. After contacting my employer, they stated they did not receive a copy of the court order and they asked me to fax them a copy of the court order so that they could... Read more »
It is obvious from the tenor of your question that you are doing a DIY bankruptcy. That's your first mistake. You are making assumptions that things happen automatically when for the most part they don't.
Go get a lawyer to help you sort this out.
Good Luck

She own's no real estate, no financial holdings, no car - nothing! nothing in her bank account and nothing in her will. Rents a small apartment. She's on Medicare and Medicaid.
Can the card holders go after my wife to pay here debt?
I am licensed only in Missouri and Illinois. Based upon the law in those States, I would say "No." I am not licensed in Texas but, UNLESS your wife is a co-signer, co-apllicant, or guarantor for any of your mother-in-laws debt, I cannot see how your wife would be responsible for her... Read more »
I am aware of the judgement that was filed. I am planning to file Ch7 bankruptcy, however, I would like to stop the garnishment as quickly as possible. I will not be able to afford my rent next month. Is there anything I can do?
The most effective and efficient way to stop all that stuff is to file for Chapter 7 or 13 bankruptcy--but don't do it on your own. You need a bankruptcy lawyer to guide you through the pitfalls of the process.
Good Luck

I have the money to pay the amount for "the amount alleged to be due and still owing under said judgement"
This amount is higher than the amount on the collections agency website. I just want to pay it and never have to think about it again. How do I do that?
Send a cashiers check directly to the creditor by certified mail, return receipt requested.
We were never married. I went through a modification but have since completed and returned to making regular payments
You do not mention if your ex's name is on the mortgage. If the mortgage is in your name and you are making regular payments then the bankruptcy may not affect you. A foreclosure only happens when the mortgage is not being paid. You should speak with a local family law or bankruptcy attorney... Read more »
I received a court ordered reduction in my Ch. 13 repayment plan almost two months ago and received my copy of the order a month ago yet my employer claims they have not received the order yet and thus have not lowered my payments. My employer is notorious for delaying changes to employees... Read more »
You can establish the mailing date to the employer by checking PACER. That’s about as close as you can get.
This is not a bankruptcy question. This is a State Court matter, unless Federal Court, and you need to speak to someone in your State. This is because they (Plaintiff) may need to do an Alias Summons.
I have unpaid traffic tickets and can't afford to pay them, because of my injury what can I do?
We’re these fines imposed by a judge after you requested a trial date and appeared for trial? If so, and if 90 days or less has passed since the trial date, you can file a motion with the court for reconsideration and reduction of the fines
The principal eligibility requirement for a Ch. 13 filing is a periodic income. The SSD provides that. There are limits, however, to the amount of debt a debtor may have, and a Ch. 13 case usually lasts for three to five years, during which a debtor must make payments to a Ch. 13 trustee,...

It's extremely important for you to file an answer in a case like this, so they do not get a default judgment against you. For this amount of money, it's probably not cost-effective to hire an attorney, but if it was for a larger amount, definitely seek counsel.
And to... Read more »
I took a loan against my workers comp case in 2018. I filed chapter 7 bankruptcy in December 2020, bankruptcy was discharged April 2021 with the loan company on the bankruptcy and they did not contest the discharge. WC attorney office paid the loan company in December 2021 when my case settled not... Read more »
In all probability the lender had a perfected security interest in the settlement. While any personal liability on your part was discharged, the lien would survive the discharge unless you successfully moved to avoid it. The basis for such avoidance would normally be that the lien somehow... Read more »
The account is now listed as closed, I never made any agreement/payment arrangements w/ creditor after the car was voluntarily repossessed.
Statutes of limitations vary by state. For example in Mississippi, the statute of limitations on an auto loan deficiency is only one year. Under Colorado Revised Statute 13-80-103.5, the statute of limitations is 6 years. This runs from the date of the last payment. The fact that it is... Read more »
I have lived in Charlotte NC for 22 months and plan to file in western district of North Caroline. Prior to Charlotte I lived in Vermont for 40 years. Vermont doesn't allow non-residents to use their bankruptcy exemptions.
I would recommend getting an attorney to help you with your bankruptcy. There are many good lawyers in North Carolina. To answer your questions, though, Vermont exemptions would be applicable under 11 USC 522. My research shows that Vermont does allow nonresidents to use their exemptions but it... Read more »
