I can file in 2 weeks but this finance company wants to come view the collateral of which I no longer have some of the items. Please help
answered on Oct 14, 2020
If you have retained legal counsel let the finance company know. They should be contacting your attorney rather than you directly.
The general rule is that they cannot "breach the peace" when attempting to take back collateral. A simple "no" is sufficient to meet that... View More 
What are my options to keep my house but to get rid of the RV?
answered on Jun 29, 2020
Like the other attorneys who have responded, a Chapter 7 would allow you to surrender the RV and discharge the loan in its entirety. A Chapter 7 allows you decide whether you want to keep secured debt or get rid of it. In your case, you can retain your house and keep paying the mortgage and... View More

No, this money is explicitly excluded from the definition of income in the CARES Act. This means it does not need to be paid into your plan.
However, if you have recently become unemployed due to the coronavirus and are not making payments into your Chapter 13 plan, you may want to speak... View More
The judgment lien has been on the property for 13 years and was put on after my sister got a divorce from her ex-husband and a debt for a vehicle was never paid. The ex brother-in-law is no longer in the state of Tennessee and this debt, unless negotiated off the property will most likely never be... View More

Yes! The CARES Act explicit excludes the stimulus payments from "current monthly income." In other words, it does not need to be paid into your Chapter 13 plan

Generally you cannot. The general prohibition against accruing additional debt includes credit cards for healthcare.

Unlike tax refunds, the trustee does not file a motion to intercept any other type of money coming from the treasury. So it will come to you.
There has been recent policy from the DoJ and local trustees in Tennessee that pretty explicitly state that debtors in an open Chapter 13 case will... View More
My monthly pymt is 500 per month, I received a text asking if I can pay more monthly since my husband no longer had a credit card bill due.

It sounds like the trustee wants you to pay your full disposable income into your plan.
A Chapter 13 plan must either be a 100 percent plan or else you must devote all your disposable income into the plan.
