When filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy schedule J, if your monthly debt exceeds your monthly income, what happens?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
That is normally how it is in a Chapter 7. It means that you have no disposable income to commit to a hypothetical plan in Chapter 13 (assuming your expenses are necessary and reasonable). So, don't worry about it.

How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The bankruptcy law doesn't allow you to discharge a debt because you don't think that the debt is fair. To discharge a student loan typically requires that you show that you are unable to work to ever be able to pay for this loan. Unless you are seriously disabled, it will be difficult to meet that criteria. I would suggest meeting with a bankruptcy attorney that specializes in this field, as this is a difficult and expensive task to accomplish.

What can I do regarding foreclosure hearings after Chapter 7 bankruptcy? How?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
You are going to lose the house, that's what happens if you don't pay the mortgage. You have no personal liability on the mortgage. If you're leaving anyway, I'd recommend that you hire an attorney to negotiate a deed in lieu or a short sale.
