I believe that the Landlord would have to get permission from the Bankruptcy Court to proceed, otherwise it would be a violation of the automatic stay. Contact your lawyer as soon as possible
Initially said they wanted for unsecured credit cards. We said okay. Now they want it all. House was in discharge and has been foreclosed on.
If the claim was pending when you filed and did not exempt it out, then the trustee has a right to make a claim on it. As for how much, probably the amount of your debt, plus the Trustee's Counsel and Trustee's Commission. Talk to your lawyer
I was driving down a street heading to a intersection. I saw a parked car next to the stop sign that was at the intersection. So I went around the car to get to the stop sign and then I felt an impact the other driver said he was parked and then he might have started to drive he doesn't remember if... Read more »

I have outstanding, very high credit card debts it is unlikely I can ever satisfy. Is bankruptcy the answer?
It is probably a good idea to consult with a practitioner in California where you live. Your information does not not give enough info to determine if you need to file a chapter 7 or chapter 13
I filed for Chapter 13 last year, but did not complete the petition. It was dismissed more than 365 days ago. But the filing was in 2018. If I file again, will the automatic stay apply? The last petition was dismissed in May 2018 and we would be filing again November 2019. I am planning to... Read more »
You can file a Motion to Extend the Stay pursuant to 11 USC 362(c)(2)(C), and show why the first one was dismissed and why this one should have the Stay and what is different. I strongly urge you to consult with Counsel as having the Stay in place is very important

So why did you post this in Bankruptcy? Try reposting in Family Law
I have credit card debt under $15,000, disposable monthly income of $200, and a house that was given to me that appraises at $48,000 that I wish to keep. And I have no other assets of value over $1,000. What bankruptcy chapter should my attorney file? A chapter 7 or chapter 13?
You should file a chapter 13, but I do not think that your disposable monthly income is enough to payoff enough of the debt to keep the house
The court date was set before the bankruptcy (chapter 7 no-asset) case was closed and the debt in question was fully discharged. The lawsuit is for credit card debt which was sold to a debt collector (the plaintiff). Is there a way I can, without leaving myself vulnerable, avoid having to spend... Read more »
Just provide a copy of the Discharge to Counsel for the Credit Card Company and t a copy of the Petition showing it was listed, and also provide same to the Court.
If you do not appear, they will get a default judgement against you. You might want to consider bankruptcy to avoid the loan, depending on your personal assets and other liabilities
Yes, they can foreclose on the Property, but they may not get a judgment against you personally (unless you Reafffirmed) and may not get a deficiency judgment against you
He owes $50 in back child support and maintenance to me for not paying for over a year and losing/quitting jobs several times and not paying. He is currently still be garnished for child support/maintenance. Can he discharge the child support/maintenance that is in arrears? Do I need to do... Read more »
No he can not but you should get an order of nondischargeability. You may have to file an adversary complaint to get same. Please speak with competent bankruptcy counsel in your area
The two lawyers who already responded are both correct, but you could also call your attorney if you have one, or look on any notice from the Court and your case number will be on it
I was trying to avoid 2 points for the speed ticket that was $85. They reduced it to unsafe driving I pleaded guilty for. I ended up paying $439 that included a $250 surcharge. I don’t have any points in the prior 3 years and no ticket. Can the court/prosecutor do this? Just trying to see if I... Read more »
You pled to a no point violation, but it does include the 250 surcharge. If you appeal, you will.wind up with the points.
Depends on the attorney, the level of experience and complexity of your case, but figure anywhere from 2,000-4,000 + Filing fees and other costs.
I had the absolute worst lawyer file my bankruptcy and overcharge me considerably. I don't know why she is so interested in my personal life but I did mention to her how severely discriminated I was at my last job. I thought about suing my previous employer but decided to let it go and... Read more »
The attorney must be sure the Petition is correct and if you left it off, then technically it is perjury. The Attorney could get employed by the Trustee if the Trustee wants him or her to be, so she could get an additional fee.
My bankruptcy lawyer charged me $2500 for a chapter 7 - I don't have any hidden assets or a complicated case. I find out that my brother-in-law paid less than half. So far, I paid her $2000. I still owe $500 in 3 monthly installmants. I had to chase her for everything, and I mean everything. I... Read more »
While I do not condone not paying counsel, I am curious if you have filed the Petition, how she can be collecting on a pre-petition debt when 11 USC 362 says she/he cant. Even counsel fees can be seen pre-petition debt. I have heard of counsel doing this with a broken out Retainer for specific... Read more »
If you were given a ticket for not having on your person while driving a vehicle, pleads not guilty, then on your court date, go to court with the driver license and show it to the prosecutor who should reduce the fine
I was also fine for speeding when am sure not speeding
Plead not guilty and show the Prosecutor the valid NJ Driver's license at the court date. As for the speeding, not enough info to answer
It is a No Point violation according to Motor Vehicle Commission Charts, meaning no points on your license. There is a fine which could range up to about 125.00 with costs included
This is if I happen to plead guilty and just get this over with and this has to do with a careless driving statue in N.J
Points come off usually after 18 months.
