in the trust. I own other 50%. How can I remove him if he can be trustee. Property in FL

Yes, the fact that he has filed for bankruptcy protection shouldn't really affect his ability to carry out his duties as trustee. If you feel there are grounds under state (non-bankruptcy) law to remove him you can apply to the state courts to remove and replace him.
I had creditors meeting but i did not file form 423.

Hello,
I'm sorry about the trouble you're experiencing in your chapter 7 bankruptcy. Generally, bankruptcy trustees have broad powers to liquidate estate property unless an exemption applies. Depending on your circumstances, this might apply to your jointly owned home.

Notwithstanding any of that, it sounds like your ex-husband is committing bankruptcy fraud which is never a good thing.
Before charging off my loan do the loan provider have to give me notice via email / letter?
They often called me out of hours (something discover has been fined for in the past). What recourse do i have?

A lender's "charge-off" of a loan debt does not affect your legal obligation to repay; the charge-off is an internal accounting/regulatory-driven function that adjusts (reduces) the lender's capital structure and lending authority. I am aware of no legal requirement that you,... Read more »

The member 8-9 years ago was in chapter 13 and represented a loss for the lender. Can they asked the member to re-pay the old balance that was cleared and discharged from CH13?

The so-called "permanent injunction", against creditors' attempting to collect a discharged debt, which accompanies the entry of every Discharge Order in bankruptcy, certainly seems to prohibit that sort of "ask". On the other hand, nothing in a bankruptcy Discharge... Read more »
Im separating and need to sell my home but my husband is in ch. 13, the attorney said he has to use the profit to purchase another home but only have a year to do so, is this true? Should I file for a divorce so this doesn’t affect me?

You need to consult with an attorney of your own. It is unclear, for example, how you could sell the home without your husband's approval. Filing for divorce would not have any effect.

If you want to keep this home, that still has a mortgage on it, then refinance the mortgage at today's low interest rates.

If I am not a homeowner but rather I rent, am I still eligible to use the unused portion of the homestead exemption with the federal wild card exemption or must you own a home to even qualify to be given that option... Thank You

The enhanced personal property exemption or "wild card" was designed to be used for people who do not claim a homestead exemption because they rent or live with somebody or just don't own a home for any reason. Interestingly, you can own a mobile home and also get the enhanced... Read more »

Creditors do not have to report to the credit bureaus. If you didn't reaffirm the mortgage, you aren't personally liable on the debt, and the mortgage company generally would stop reporting. The mortgage company retains its lien and you must continue paying to avoid foreclosure.
Not only don't I see my mortgage being reported on my credit, it's completely wiped out as if it's paid??? I have Wells Fargo and have never been late

It is my understanding that credit reporting agencies normally only report delinquencies. If you are making timely payments, I don't believe that would be reported at all.
