Post subject: Dismissal and refiling or amendment |
|
|
| Our monthly 13 payment has caused my business to get behind on monthly obligations. We are 2+ years into it and have made timely payment until about 2 months into this year. They paid on the secured amounts such as back taxes, mortgage and car payments. We have yet to touch most of the unsecured credit card debt. If the case is dismissed and refiled to lower the payment by about half acording to my calculations can the credit card companies and their agents file claims for accrued interest from the date of original filing 2+ years ago and tack that amount on to their new claim when and if we re-file? What other options do we have since we are now facing dismissal due to default? Are my only 2 options to file an amended plan or get it dismissed and refile? |

Hi Deadlift,
In my opinion, you should first contact your lender and inform them about your hardship. Check out with your lender whether or not he is ready to give you a new payment plan. If not, then I think you'll have to get the bankruptcy filing dismissed and refile it. However, contact your bankruptcy attorney once and take his opinion in this regard. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success |

| Does a Chapter 13 repayment plan stop credit card interest from accruing? |

Hi Duckie,
As far as I know, if you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy and if it's accepted by the bankruptcy court, then your creditor cannot sue you for the credit card debts. Moreover, as it's an unsecured debt, it would be discharged.
Thanks |

Hi marluci,
In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you will get a payment plan depending upon your financial situation. Your lender will judge your financial situation first and then give you the repayment plan. As per that payment plan, you would have to clear off the mortgage dues. But I don't think your balance would be forgiven by the lender. _________________ Procrastination is the enemy of your financial success |

| If you had to make a "guesstiment" what do you think it would roughly cost to do all of this on roughly $35000 debt? |

My husband and I are considering filing for bankruptcy. My question is this..... I am a co-signer on my mother's bank accounts. I need to be reassured that my bankruptcy will in no way hurt my mother, nor would she even be contacted about my personal situation, even though my name is connected to her money market and checking accounts.
Thank you. |

Hi anon,
As you and your husband are filing bankruptcy, your mother will not be affected due to this. Her credit will not get ruined as she is not jointly filing the bankruptcy.
Thanks |

Hi dee!
Welcome to forums!
The bankruptcy court and your creditors would look into your situation and would come up with a repayment plan for your unsecured debts. It will depend upon the bank as to what your monthly payments would be like.
Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Post subject: IRA with 72 T |
|
|
| I was told by 6 attorneys so far I should have filed chapter 7 bankruptcy. But I am encountering a problem. I have an IRA with the 72T rule. I am so glad because I only have a part time job and desperating looking for full time work. I am single. My only asset is this IRA. I am researching on line and everything I am reading shows it is not protected under chapter 7. What about chapter 13? 3 attorneys would not gaurantee the protection of this IRA. HELP! |

| Deborah...as far as I know, IRA accounts are protected under the bankruptcy law. Your creditors will not be able to touch your IRA account though you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. |

Post subject: life estate deed and chapter 7 bankruptcy |
|
|
| my mother transferred the deed to her home to me in a life estate, she has all rights to remain there until she dies, i cannot sell it until she dies, she is healthy. if i file chapter 7 in florida, and the house is in new york, can they put a lien on her home until she dies and it can be sold, which may be 15 years or more, and if i transfer the deed back to her and file chapter 7 eight months prior to filing bankrupcty will that appear fraudulent? I have no assetts other than my name on that deed, which means nothing because I cannot sell it. |
