I was unemployed for about 9 months in 2015. Which resulted in me filing Ch. 7. I just learned I could have filed a separate motion to have my loans discharged possibly. Can I do that now if I can prove that I lived in poverty from 2015 to 2017 and was unable to repay the loans.

If you used an exemption to protect the money in your account, that should not be a problem. Consult your bankruptcy attorney to ensure the money is protected before you spend it.
Isn’t the $600 a week in UI considered stimulus money?
answered on May 24, 2020
The stimulus check is not income. The $600 per week in UI is income.
So I had a lawsuit against me ( Collection from debt Buyer ) and after I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy the case changed to ( Dismissal with Prejudice ) can you please tell me what does that mean and is it good or no ?
Thanks

That means it is all over, kaput, done, a dead soldier, whatever. "prejudice" means the end, "without prejudice" means it is probably on the back burner.
Good Luck

answered on May 8, 2020
First, you should be speaking with your counsel, if you have one. If you did not use Counsel, please check that you used the proper exemption (don't know if GA uses Federal or State-check with a lawyer) so that the funds in the account are exempt and the Trustee will not take it. If you... View More
