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

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 »

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.

Here is what you should think about: The State makes a law and then the town writes a law that changes or is in conflict with the State Law. Example: State Law is that Cell Phones cant be used while driving anywhere. County or Municipality writes a law that says in our town you can use your cell... Read more »

If your bankruptcy was discharged, meaning an order of discharge was entered and usually closed after its entry, then the trustee cant reopen to take stimulus check. ALSO, it is a post petition asset, so it should be no issue

As a bankruptcy attorney I can tell you this, your stimulus check in a chapter 7 according to the Cares act and stimulus act is not considered income for the means test under chapter 7.

hello I am in the middle of a chapt 7 BK will my Trustee get our stimulus checks. My wife is not in my BK
I do not believe that the stimulus checks will go to the trustee. It is a post petition payment in your case and according to the stimulus bill, it is exempt from income on the means test.
My partner never filed the tax return for those years. I believe IRS filed substitute returns and the income taxes owed for each year were assessed a while ago. Do I need to file returns for those years before filing bankruptcy?
Yes you need to file and those assessments are not dischargeable. Check with counsel in your jurisdiction before you file
Going to answer two ways, as you did not indicate if you are in a Chapter 7 or 13

The other driver was under the influence, backed into me, I was diagnosed with concussion and have had some back pain since. They have already offered 1100.
If you have seriously been diagnosed with a concussion from a medical doctor and you have back pain, I recommend getting to a doctor and a lawyer and not accept $1,100.00 .
Yes, you probably can, but I can not say that it is a good idea, because you do not put enough information down. Such as, do you own any REAL property (such as house) as that would affect the type of bankruptcy you would file. Please speak with a qualified bankruptcy attorney in your jurisdiction.
I do not want him involved in the bankruptcy
Your spouse would be involved to the extent that you are required to show what his wages have been for the past 6 months as the Means Test requires you to show evidence of the household income. This will determine if you can file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13.
