All assets that you can protect using your state or federal exemptions.

Based on what you have written, and as I understand your question.....the short answer is no.

File a notice of appeal in the bankruptcy court and pay the filing fee. That will perfect your appeal to the United States District Court in Maryland.

My mortgage company won't report my payments to the credit bureau without one even though I never have missed a payment. My lawyer said a judge probably wouldn't reopen the case because it's been so long. Anything I can do without paying money?
answered on May 3, 2018
One option would be to see if you should refinance your house. Only do this if it makes sense financially. Don't do it just to get a mortgage company to report payment to a credit bureau.
They replied with no. Is that legal,such short notice? What if any are my options?
answered on May 3, 2018
To answer your question I would need some more details on the letter and what legal proceeding have taken place. Your reference to a the bankruptcy makes me suspect the property may be one that you owned and now has gone to foreclosure. You may want to do a search and see if an eviction has been... View More
The account was opened for me when I got my first job at fourteen and he never took his name off of the account. All of the money in there is mine but he says his lawyer told him it would look like he is hiding assets if I take the money out.

If your bankruptcy plan, or discharge, has not gone forward yet, the penalty may be that your bankruptcy is dismissed. Other facts would have to be known before answering your question further.

She had me use my credit card at Best buy to buy an expensive TV and she wants to write me a check to pay for it. Will this hurt me in any way? She refuses to talk to her Bankruptcy Lawyer about her settlement.
answered on Apr 3, 2018
Hmmm. I'm thinking intentional acts to hide income from a Bankruptcy Trustee...might be what is known as Bankruptcy Fraud! Have you checked to see if the settlement is exempt? Never hide any income from the Trustee.
