I’m not sure what you’re asking bc if you filed the petition, it was incumbent upon you to provide your correct address in the petition. You should not rely on a creditor to provide anything on your behalf.

I'm going to guess that you did not actually file chapter 11 (it is generally for businesses, and although individuals CAN file chapter 11, it is much more expensive and only necessary if you have a lot of assets). So, it depends on whether you file a chapter 7 or 13. The maximum time to wait... View More

Q: Oklahoma shows unlimited exemption for home so as long as I exempt my home should be ok correct.

The Oklahoma homestead exemption amount is unlimited – you can exempt the full value of your home. However, there are limitations as to the acreage of your property. You can only exempt up to 1 acre if you live in a city, town or village. You can only exempt up to 160 acres if you live elsewhere.

Theoretically yes. You should consult a local attorney to advise on the other aspects of filing bankruptcy, however.

If your name is on the deed, you must list it as an asset of the estate. The degree to which the house is affected will depend on the equity in the house and whether you should file a 7, 13, or at all.

Contact him about the situation snd be patient. Many times it is best not to reaffirm in a particular situation. As long as you continue paying for the car, they will not repo it. Sounds like his strategy may be to get you a clear title to the vehicle, but check in with him and talk it out.

1. You can call the creditor and ask them to come get the car.

2. If they refuse you can make them an offer to pay a lump sum of money in exchange for a lien release.

3. If all the above fails you may attempt a quit title lawsuit against the lien holder and seek a Court Order...
