How do I determine the Value of Collateral if this is a credit card debt, Im being garnished for?
Depending on the procedure in your state--and it varies by state--if the Plaintiff has secured a judgment lien, then it is secured. Otherwise, probably not.
You should consult a lawyer do give you a reading on the law in your state.

If your license is as a physician, a lawyer, an accountant, or the like, I give them no value because there is not market: it cannot be sold or purchased (lawfully, that is). So if there is no market, there is no value.

I am Pro se. In Sched A/B on some items I claimed 100% of FMV instead of an specific amount. The trustee has moved to invalidate Schedules A/B and C which also has a tennency by the entirety exemption. Also I claimed a tangible wildcard exemption on $3000 in bank accounts and not the $400...

Now is the time for you to get a lawyer!
The trustee's objections are probably not well founded, but the law is tricky and something about which you appear to be initiated. Tenants by the entireties is a proper exemption if the underlying facts are there. You need a proper analysis.... Read more »

The garnishment will occur unless you seek bankruptcy counsel and file before the return date on the writ. Your lawyer that you hire for Bankruptcy knows how to halt this--otherwise, the garnishee fund, whether a bank or your employer, will have to respond.

Can the bodyshop charge the car owner for any balance after the court settles the bankruptcy?
In Florida a garageman has a lien on the property for the value of the repairs. It is called a "possessory lien" because it lasts as long as he retains possession, but disappears if he releases.
If you wait on the court, the car may age out and become an antique!. Your best bet... Read more »
We owe a lot on both cars. I also have tax debt, student loan debt, credit card debt, medical bills and collection companies. What can bankruptcy do for me in terms of clearing these debts and allowing me to get the one car back and keep both cars?
I agree with Mr. Sheppard.

Why don't you phone the trustee's office and ask them, because--at the end of the day--it will be their decision. What you propose certainly makes sense and I would recommend it. But then, it is not my decision--nor is it yours!

I understand you have to prove undue hardship in order to bankrupt student loans. I need to go back to college and I'm not able to do so with the defaulted student loans. Thank you!

I am a buyer, went into contract with seller. We were to close but seller's went to court for bankruptcy. Is there anything I can do? What are some options that I can guarantee buying the home?
Mr. Denison is correct.
Find a lawyer who does real property and bankruptcy and have him contact the trustee. The Debtor should have listed the sale of the property under the appropriate category in his petition showing a contract yet to be performed.

I think it totally depends on the amount, the age of the case, and the trustee. Talk to you lawyer about this.
What are my options to keep my house but to get rid of the RV?
Depending on your actual financial and cash flow position, a Chapter 7 might be what you are interested. If the RV is your only debt bankruptcy seems a bit extreme; however, it is what the number say.
