Q: If a judgement of removal has been entered in against me will I still have time to stop it it by filing CH.13 bankruptcy
I am currently 3 months behind on rent,
A: There is no reason or benefit to filing a Chapter 13 Bankruptcy. However, you may get some additional time by filing a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and you will need to eliminate financial liability for this and any other debts that you have. Trying to represent yourself in Bankruptcy is unwise to put it nicely. There are both Federal and Local Rules of Bankruptcy that must be complied with. It is not merely filling out forms. To properly answer your questions and address your concerns, the best way to handle this is with an in person consultation with an experienced Bankruptcy attorney.
