I have had an emergency pop up and don't have the cash to cover it before my next payday.
answered on Jul 12, 2023
Of course, you can ask/apply.
However, legitimate lenders, perhaps even payday lenders, want to see a General Order of Discharge in any pending bankruptcy case before funding a loan.
Just personally, imho, there is no safer borrower out there than one who recently got a bankruptcy... View More
I filed bankruptcy earlier this year. Can you help me find the case and all the information tied to it?

This is really a question to ask your bankruptcy lawyer. He will know the case number and where it was filed.
If you did it yourself without a lawyer, you would know the case number and where it was filed. Electronic records for your case should be available on PACER through the... View More

Generally, any valid lien on your home will remain until the debt secured by the home is paid.
If you fail to pay a valid debt secured by your home, the lender can ask the... View More

A personal loan that must be repaid is not income for purposes of calculating the six month average.
This judge has "stayed" my case against 4 Defendants, because one filed for bankruptcy. Basically all 4 defendants are benefiting from bankruptcy, when only one filed for it.
answered on Mar 16, 2023
The fact that a judge has stayed your case due to a bankruptcy filing is not grounds for disqualification or recusal.
If you believe the stay is improper, you can file a petition for writ of mandamus with the court of appeals.
You can also file a motion to lift the stay in the... View More
The solar contractor has since gone out of business and has filed bankruptcy.
answered on Mar 14, 2023
The company that has filed bankruptcy and is now out of business is no longer a viable defendant.
