My friend got into trapped by purchase of car without title. He was informed by the seller that he will get the title released from the bank but still seller has not paid off the loan and title is not yet released.
Now my friend is chasing the seller but seller is not responding.... Read more »
Depending on the value of the car or how much was paid, he should file a complaint in either Superior Court or the Supreme Court. He probably should consult a local debtors rights attorney who can oversee the finer points.
I filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy. I completed everything that was needed to do so. Somewhere along the lines I got confused and sent my second course completed paperwork to my trustee instead of the courts. The courts discharged my filing. I got told that I have to resubmit. I do not have the money... Read more »
Yes. You can ask for consideration in fee waiver.
Unless you know the exact date, just put “revolving.”
No agreement was entered into by the debtor to reimburse the individual whose funds were used to pay the creditor.
Yes. Be as honest and forthright as possible.
It depends on how it is structured in the award.

I would need to know more about the business as to whether a Chapter 7 business filing is necessary or whether you should wind down the business entity outside of a bankruptcy context. Your personal guarantee leads me to believe a personal Chapter 7 or 13 may be necessary. There are rules about... Read more »
My mother has declared bankruptcy and is having her wages garnished. She wants to sign a paycheck over to me and have me cash it for her. Is this legal?
If she has Actually filed bankruptcy, the stay prevents anyone from garnishing her wages so you are perfectly justified in cashing it for her if you so choose.
I have tried countless time to make payment arrangements on a local tax which I owe. The agency will not negotiate with me at all. The original debt was $1600. The agency tacked on any additional $1900 in fees and interest. They will only allow 18 months to pay off the debt. I have a small... Read more »
If you file bankruptcy, it stays ALL collection efforts.
Leasing from Progressive, it cost $1300 total. I want to pay it off in 90 days. If I pay it off and then file for bankruptcy in 2-3 months will they look at the payments from a bank statement and take the property?
Not sure the "leasing" part is accurate. If you will own the laptop after it is paid off, it will be an asset and paying it prior to bankruptcy as a secured creditor (or lease) should not materially impact your case. You will have to disclose it. The issue would be that it was a "preference".... Read more »
I am filing bankruptcy come Jan or Feb (need to gather the funds, or use tax money). I have entered a progressive lease for a 1300 laptop I am using for work and for my kids for school. Should I cancel the lease? Will bankruptcy affect this?
No. Cancel the lease post filing. If you wish to keep it, you can reaffirm. If not, you can reject.
We filed the Ch 7 in 2009, Mortgage was from 2007. We have been paying since then so we would have a place to live, but cannot afford to anymore. The original ch 7 paperwork said we intended to reaffirm- but the Mortgage company never sent anything. Will walking away affect our credit? Will we be... Read more »
You will get delinquencies on your credit report. However, since you did not reaffirm, they cannot require you to pay the balance.
When filling out bankruptcy form 106E/F do I list the original creditor or the collection agency that purchased the debt?
Both
Do I still have an obligation to pay or pay the balance due once sold
Hi there! There are a few things of importance with your question.
1. Do you want to keep the mobile home? If yes, then you do have to pay the debt.
2. Did you reaffirm the debt in your bankruptcy? If yes, then you are obligated to pay the debt despite your bankruptcy in 2010.... Read more »
Filed 10 years ago not realizing this was a secured debt and included it in chapter 7. No one ever contacted me for a reafirmation or to see what I wanted to do with it. My attorney never mentioned the lien. Is there anyway to get it removed? I thought the chapt 7 got rid of it.
You can reopen the chapter 7 and ask the court to avoid the lien on your house. It would be advisable to have a lawyer do this for you.
I feel like I'm being harassed.
No, but the operative questions is really whether you are actually being harassed.
I am considering asking for a dismissal since I am in a better situation but I want to see if my creditors will work with me before I make that decision.
You can contact them but they probably won’t talk to you out of fear of violating TL the stay.
I pay the rent and electric which is 650 and 258. I don't have the money for bills or to pay the stuff in collection. I live in Middlefield we have no car and I'm in a wheelchair. I only make 1397 on SS. I REALLY don't know what to do

He has been being garnished for about 5 months now and we just got a letter in the mail saying the court has granted the plaintiffs (ford) the motion to release funds.
It means that Ford asked the court to release the money collected from your boyfriend's garnishment and that the request has been granted. Say goodbye to the money.
I am not a joint card holder. My name is no where on the account. They just helped me out when I was having money issues and I agreed to pay a monthly amount until the balance was paid off. Now, there is no balance and they keep taking my money even though they no longer owe the amount.
I'm sorry, your question it's a little vague so this might not be what you're asking. If you're a joint account holder on the card, your liability isn't discharged by your co-debtor's bankruptcy. This means that they can come after you if you stop paying.
yes. as long as you are not filing, no worries.
