I can help you more, if you provide more information. What type of bankruptcy are you in (7, 13)? How long has it taken already? Have you asked your attorney this same question? Write back and tell us a little more detail and I'll try to give you a better answer.

How old is the vehicle and in what condition? Most people do not lose their vehicles during a Ch 7 proceeding, but a newer Lexus in excellent condition may exceed the State or Federal exemption level. Your best bet is to consult with a bankruptcy attorney.

This will reduce the chance that deadlines will be missed, and increase your chances of a... View More

Your best bet is likely to contact your local legal aid office, or the Bar Association in your county and ask for a pro bono reference.

Sorry to waffle like this, but - it depends on the circumstances. Under some circumstances you may be able to appeal the bank levy. If you file a bankruptcy action within a specified time period you may be able to have the money returned by court order, or by order of the Trustee. You should... View More

Not at all. A contract may be written or verbal, and may even be implied by the conduct of the parties. There is no requirement for bold type.

Unless behaved in some way which would lead you to believe he was treating you differently from any other traffic stop, it's unlikely that he was harassing you, and more likely that you just looked familiar to him.
