I do not follow the question. But if you are asking if you can file bankruptcy after a foreclosure has already atarted, then the answer is yes. In some cases that is helpful. In some cases it will have limited benefit. Talk to a lawyer to learn which applies to. You.

The refund may be required to be paid to your bankruptcy trustee. Dismissal is possible if you fail to comply here, too.

Findings are a very broad legal term that relate to finding the truth about stories told to judges. The question is not the findings but the words about what was ordered done. What was the text of the judgment or order?
answered on Feb 5, 2011
The solution has many variables so you will need to consult a lawyer. The key question is whether the judgment creditor received no notice of your bankruptcy. There are exceptions to this requirement. If the creditor received notice, the creditor could be subject to contempt of court.

I don't know if Legal Services of Indiana or the Indiana Legal Aid Society can help. LSO has a program for the elderly that can offer more assistance for those over 65 than the average person.

Incorrect, it is the account that is frozen not the amount of the funds. So if you deposit funds after the date that the garnishment is served and before a court ruling, the additional funds are also frozen.

Generally yes. However, the answer may be different depending upon what information the attorney was provided or obtained.
answered on Feb 5, 2011
The answer is very specific to each person. If your debts for items other than your house and car are more than your annual income, bankruptcy is worth considering.
This is contingent as the debtor is the named plaintiff in a class action lawsuit that is pending.
