Hi tasio!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, if you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you will have to include the concerned property as your asset. Also, if the property is free and clear, the trustee will have the right to sell it off to pay off your creditors. If you transfer the property now to your mother, you will have to wait for about a year in order to file bankruptcy. If you file bankruptcy before that it would be considered as a fraud. If you are filing bankruptcy for your unsecured debts, it would be a better idea to file Chapter 13. In that case, you won't have to list this property in your bankruptcy filing.

marie...you need to contact your bankruptcy attorney regarding this. He will let you know when you need to stop your payments under Chapter 13.

Post     Post subject: Is building a savings okay during chapter 13

If my husband gets a bonus and we have already been assigned to a payment plan in Chapter 13, is it okay to have a savings to help us suppliment our income. Our payments requirements, mostly due to our large mortgage payment, are making it very tight. If I could have a cushion in our savings account it would assure us that we won't miss a payment and we would have funds available for emergencies. Is this considered okay?

Hi worried,

I think you should follow the instructions given to you by the insurance company. If you use the money for any other purpose, there are chances that it would be considered as a fraud. You can even speak to your bankruptcy attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Thanks

Hi LINDA,

As far as I know, the lender would give you a payment plan depending upon your present financial situation. If you make more money later on, then you can make some extra payments (with due permission from the lender) and pay off the dues early.

Thanks

Hi msbmore!

Welcome to forums!

You or your attorney will have to fill out a form regarding conversion of Chapter 7 bankruptcy into Chapter 13. The court will inform you whether or not your request is accepted. As far as the I know, if the vehicle is already repossessed by the lender, then wage garnishment would be considered as an unsecured debt.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.

Hi mrsjubee,

You would get a repayment plan from your lender to pay off the mortgage dues when you file Chapter 13. You will have to pay the dues according to that and clear off the mortgage payments.
