I'm also htv from dui's. This is the fourth time caught w/o insurance. I've already called down state to see what with them is going to happen with my license. 1 year suspension, 3 years Sr 22 insurance, and a $1000 reinstatement fee unless the judge does something else. I'm... Read more »
What is your question?
Planning on filing chapter 7. I’m on social security disability and so is my husband.
Not if you haven’t received them and even then, it should not affect your filing status.
Gave jewelry as collateral- got a loan for $13000 = trying to buy back items from pawn broker who want $27942.26
Can they charge that much interest?
The paperwork states 45% charge annual is that loan sharking?
Yes it is, and probably they can. Pawnbrokers have the ability to charge massive interest rates under many state laws. I am not familiar with your state, but here in Florida it is confiscatory.
You only mention bankruptcy. Go see a good local bankruptcy lawyer (not one of those mills... Read more »
Will they ask for his bank statements being that he is not filing. He’s receiving unemployment. They did ask for pay stubs showing he received unemployment, but my question is being that he’s not filing do they normally request a non filing spouses bank statements?
When one individual in a household seeks bankruptcy relief, the income of other household members is of interest to the Ch. 7 Trustee, because of the "means test", which determines eligibility to be a Ch. 7 debtor (compared to a Ch. 13 debtor). The presumption is the nonbankrupt... Read more »
Consult an attorney to see if you have have a malpractice claim against your firmer attorney.
My family member is mentally ill, and I am also his representative payee. I have provided financial assistance for lodging totaling approximately 10k in smaller amounts over the course of 2 years. The money I had provided went toward keeping him from homelessness. Does this still fall under the... Read more »
Yes. You still need to disclose this under property held for others question. All of it should be disclosed as a matter of course although it should not have any negative effect on your bankruptcy.
So if my chapter 13 is not discharged at the end due to my refunds not being sent to the trustee, can I pay the refunds and subsequently be discharged? Or will I be penalized and not discharged at all?
Assuming it is not discharged fir that reason, most likely they will allow you to pay the refunds and then the discharge will be granted.
That depends upon the wording of your confirmed Plan. If the plan required you to pay your tax refunds to the Trustee, then you will be in default of your plan payments, and no discharge will be entered until all plan payments have been made. If your plan does not specify that your tax refunds... Read more »
there’s 3 different charges, one going back 3 years. i heard that they go away after “7 years off being on your credit report.”
Broad question- "what happens to whom?"
A financial institution's "charge-off" is an internal accounting and regulatory function; a charge-off by your lender in no way affects or reduces your legal obligation to repay the debt.
The length of time an... Read more »
chapter 7
If you're buying with cash, you can buy right away. Is that answer easy enough for you.
For example, my brand is: Pinky Minnie Couture or Destiny Minnie Arts ...
Not a criminal law question.
Mom and dad are both late in their late 70's and I know dad has $25 - $35 thousand in credit card debt and his business has at least that much. I can make the house payment but if one dies I can't pay his bills. How would bankruptcy work in California.
At the risk of asking two... Read more »
You have posed a multi-part complex question that only be definitively answered by a talented real property/bankruptcy lawyer in California. For instance, you cannot just waltz down to the court house and "take your name off" a mortgage. You are also resident in a community property... Read more »
Yes. Receiving income via cash, private income, Bitcoin, or any other means can be disclosed to the Court to comply with 11 USC 521 / 11 USC 707 via an Affidavit prepared by your Attorney. The value of the compensation has to be disclosed to the Court. It must be included on the Means Test... Read more »
We are a freight forwarder and at the brink of filing for bankruptcy.

You should immediately consult an attorney to review all the contracts and any other paperwork. Without seeing the contracts, there is no way to answer your question.
A few cards.
Although you have no assets for creditors to take, you might decide you don't want the hassle of collection calls, or just in case you receive non-exempt assets or income in the future, that these are not taken from you by a potential judgment. However, you may decide it is too expensive to... Read more »
It depends. For instance, if you have a chapter 13 and you do not make your mortgage payments the bank can ask to lift the automatic stay. And if the stay is lifted they can go after the house.
If you file a chapter 7 and own a car, and stop making payments the creditor can ask for the... Read more »
Do I have to give the trustee my tax refund in chapter 13 bankruptcy? I called my attorney and spoke to a Lady in the office and she said that the trustee doesn’t take tax refunds anymore. Wasn’t able to speak with my attorney personally.
I do not practice in Alabama, so that question would be dependent on the local bankruptcy rules that govern your case. In the Eastern District of Missouri, where I practice, the local rules require that debtors turn over their tax refunds (over a specific allowable amount) to the Chapter 13... Read more »
I’m in a chapter 13 bankruptcy, and just want to know if I need to report new car insurance? I’m a year into my payment plan. Our insurance is outrageous and want to find a new company. Also I know most companies do a soft credit pull, will that affect anything? I’m in middle district... Read more »

Be sure you have adequate liability limits and equivalent uninsured motorist coverage. It's always the other guy who has... Read more »
Husband and I are filing chapter 7 to discharge a civil judgment. However our son is also on the judgment, will they come after him after we file?
In a Ch. 7, the automatic stay, and the permanent injunction included in the final Discharge, only protects the debtors who file the bankruptcy case. Assuming that the civil judgment is not for a non-dischargeable kind of debt (e.g., fraud, willful destruction, and specified kinds of personal... Read more »
