The First thing you do is find out where the matter is pending.

What you propose sounds a lot like copyright infringement. I don't understand your terminology--like what do you mean by "gear". An instrument, to me, is a horn, a guitar, a piano, etc., not something that reproduces pre-recorded data.

The first thing you need is a lawyer. You need a lawyer that represents small business who can guide you through the hurdles of setting up an LLC, obtaining permits and licenses, and all the stuff that goes along with being in business.

Bankruptcy is a federal statute enacted by the Congress of the United States. The only variables, as he says, are the exemptions (stuff you can keep), but you should consult your own lawyer to determine which choices are the best for you

Under the circumstances, you describe I would sell and move. You need direct advice from a tax guy, but you a reasonable period of time to reinvest to avoid capital gains.

Servicer says since it was in bankruptcy I am not liable for the debt but I signed a modification and have been paying for 3 years. So exactly what does that mean??

I agree!
How long was your 13 plan and did you complete it?
Credit reports have little if anything to do with bankruptcy other than to report your filing--if they do. Credit report issues should be addressed with the reporting bureau
