Forcloser. I received a bill from the city saying I owe them for maintenance on the yard. Do I owe this debt?

Until the bank completes the foreclosure, you are the owner of the property. As a result, you are responsible for maintaining the property. This is the reason I recommend to my clients that they stay in the home until the bank forecloses. If the property is a rental, I recommend to my clients... View More

You have a problem. A chapter 7 trustee may be entitled sell the entire parcel and give you your half of the net proceeds unless you purchase the half interest that the chapter 7 trustee has in the property.
You need to contact an experienced bankruptcy attorney ASAP. You can search for... View More

You can, but unless you are purchasing the vehicle with cash, you maybe in trouble, as the likelihood of anyone granting you credit is not likely.

You file your claim at the District Court where the Bankruptcy case is pending.

Social Security is not calculated in the Means Test; however, it can be used in the preparation of Schedules I and J.

Sometimes this is a good strategy. This protects you from the possibility of future liability in the event you default. On the flip side, your favorable payment history is not reported to the credit bureaus.

Indefinitely; however, I would suggest you find out the specific reason and seek to cure the issue.

This is not a bankruptcy question; however, it sounds like the Statute of Limitations has expired. I would suggest you speak with an attorney in your area and/or do a Motion to Dismiss, citing the Statute of Limitations. Keep in mind that the counting of the toll date goes from the last payment,... View More

Sign up for PACER, it is a free governmental service, as long as you use less than $15 a calendar quarter. Then sign on at the District Court's Bky Site for the specific district and perform a search. From the Docket you can print copies of the documents filed.

I don;t know, i called the clerk at the court, but she said ask the trustee, they said I left SCH C totally blank, but, it was amended-How do i correct this? Is there a court form, or amendment i can file, even tho it is after my creditor meeting?

You can still file an amendment. File an Amended Schedule C, along with a Declaration. These are standard forms, the same as you originally used, just add the word "Amended".

Unfortunately, the whole balance. Unless as part of your Divorce your Ex was to be responsable and it held that this was in the nature of support, then you can seek indeminification.

A Natural Person (vs. a business entity) can represent themselves in court; however, bankruptcy is a very complicated area of law, involving a combination of Federal Procedures and State Laws. So, an attorney is recommended, though not required.

If you do not show up for the Meeting of Creditors and have no unexempt property, you case will be dismissed with prejudice, upon motion of the Trustee. This means you cannot file an other case for six (6) months. If you have already had your hearing, you must motion the court to have the case... View More
