I intend to continue being paying rent in full and on time.
No, as long as you are current, remain current and marked in your petition your intent to reaffirm your rental lease
What can i do to get a driver's license is bankruptcy my only option??
I disagree with counsel as some DMV, or MVC fines are able to be discharged. It would depend on what the fine was for to determine if discharged. Also, you would have to have more debt than just MVC as the court usually does not approve single creditor bankruptcies.
Lien is bought and held by private investor. State of New Jersey.
The property owner must redeem the tax certificate through the chapter 13 or the lien can be foreclosed on
If so does that mean she doesn’t have to pay me what the judge ordered her to pay and is there a way to stop her from not paying us and adding it to the bankruptcy when she files? We filed the case in small claims before she ever started to file for bankruptcy but now she’s saying her lawyer is... Read more »
While she can add the back rent to the Bankruptcy, she cant just live there for free. If she is a Chapter 13, she has to bring current and stay current
If a Chapter 7, she either has to pay or get out
I HIGHLY recommend that you seek out counsel in your jurisdiction that can assist... Read more »

Some firms when dealing with a chapter 13 only, will allow fees through Chapter 13 Plan. This does not apply to Chapter 7. Ask them if you can put fees in Chapter 13 plan and if not, why.
I make under the limit to have to pay taxes. But I was wondering if agency’s like the irs, Medicaid ( I’m on Medicaid) and other government departments are automatically notified when I file? Thanks
They are not automatically notified unless you owe them money. You will have to supply the last three years of tax returns or transcripts to your counsel and the Trustee in charge of your case.
My husband just learned that there was a $75k judgment against him and his co-defendant in a personal injury case from 2007, but judgment was placed in 2010 without him ever receiving any notice for court, about the judgment, etc. He was aware of the case and got to the point where they were...

It is potentially dischargeable provided same is not the result of alcohol
I believe that is a zero point violation.
My 60 payments are at $507ea making the entire amount $30,420. I have make 56 consecutive payments of $507; but this year in April my tax return exceeded $3k by $1427, so I had to mail in that payment of $1427 above what I was already paying; so to date I have paid in ($507x56)+$1427= $29,819, so...

Depends on your State and Jurisdiction. In New Jersey, once you pay off the Plan, the Trustee sends out a letter advising that the Plan payments are complete. I would suggest that you either contact your Counsel or the Chapter 13 Standing Trustee for your case

He can file your Petition in the proper bankruptcy court if he is licensed in same.
My stepson called DYFS and they now have an open case. This man went on and beat her and ended up in jail for DV. She initially filed a restraining order to boot. She then reneged and continued the relationship with him. He convinced her to drop the order and her charges. The state of NJ still has... Read more »
This is not an Education Law Question. This should be in Family Law and/or Criminal Law. Education deals with School districts, tenure etc. Please re-post in proper group to get a proper and accurate response.
I didn't sign as guaranteer
It really depends if you signed as a guarantor of the bills, or did you not sign anything. Ask them for proof that you signed as a guarantor before you make anymore payments. Also remember that being a power of attorney does not automatically make you liable.
I need your help please
I filed a bankruptcy yesterday and my bank account have $2000 from unemployment benefits i heard that the trustee can take this money ? Is that true?
I filed chapter 7 and my total debt $30,000
Please let me know thanks
First, you should be speaking with your counsel, if you have one. If you did not use Counsel, please check that you used the proper exemption (don't know if GA uses Federal or State-check with a lawyer) so that the funds in the account are exempt and the Trustee will not take it. If you... Read more »
You do not indicate if you are being sued civilly or criminally. You may qualify for a public defender for a criminal matter but not a civil matter. If it is a civil matter, just turn the papers over to your insurance company which should provide you with counsel. If criminal, ask the court for a... Read more »

Read more »
You would have to apply in New York, not New Jersey to have it expunged. A Conditional Discharge, if that is what you got, should no longer be on your record as that is the purpose of same.
While in a chapter 13, any attempt to obtain credit requires authorization of the Chapter 13 Trustee in your Court under 11 USC 363.
I asked the student to collaborate with me to write up an article and submit it to an educational journal. She said it was her property and no, she didn't want me to use her idea. There was a similar lesson online. I researched the idea and elaborated greatly. Does she have the right to... Read more »
As a teacher, I believe you can with the student's permission. I would actually suggest that you try placing this question in a publishing forum or Intellectual Property forum
