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
Chapter 7, there is nothing to do, except the 2nd Credit Counseling Course, if not done, and await your discharge. Remember do not touch any exempted assets unless and until the Trustee reports No... Read more »
I recommend going to their office and sitting yourself there until you get an answer
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.
Yes. NJ law is that pedestrians must cross in crosswalks (if present) and if not present at nearest corner, otherwise it is jaywalking. Traffic present is not an issue
I entered the NJ garden state parkway and immediately there was traffic in all the other lanes, the lane I entered eventually starts to become an exit lane but there's no room for me to swap lanes. About 3/4 of the way I managed to get over before my lanes turned into a shoulder lane, so I either... Read more »
Just plead guilty and pay the.minimal fine as 4:67 is a zero point violation.
And asked me to go to court.Attended the court but the judge asked me to return for next court hearing.Any idea about this
They probably did not have the paperwork from MVC showing that your registration had been suspended and they rescheduled so as to allow same to be forwarded properly
Yes, the filing of the bankruptcy will stop the garnishment and may even result of the sheriff returning any funds he has not turned over to the judgment creditor
This question was recently asked and I posted the following: Your question involves the application of binding vs non binding authority and primary vs secondary authority. The District Court will look at the other state case, if there is no prior case on with the same facts and rules applicable in... Read more »

Filed bankruptcy Sept 17. Eviction was filed Sept 23. Landlord waited 30 days with no contact til Oct 23. Threaten eviction. Never received eviction paperwork. Sheriff came out to evict. Provided half of rent owed to landlord. Still providing rent owed to landlord but landlord is still threaten to... Read more »
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
