Can I recover my money if it has been garnished?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
Generally speaking, if more than $599 was involuntarily garnished in the 90 days prior to filing Chapter 7, the creditor must return these funds to either you if claimed as exempt or to the Chapter 7 Trustee. Problem is that it is often too expensive to file an Adversary Proceeding to recover the funds.

Do I legally still have a contract with them and why don't they report my payments on my credit report?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Your misunderstanding of this situation is really overwhelming. If you filed bankruptcy, federal law required you to list your mortgage debt as it requires you to list all of your debts in bankruptcy. Mortgage lenders will not report your payments to the credit bureaus after filing, but you can always obtain a print out of your payments and account history from the lender if you decide to refinance. If your mortgage is paid every month, you will continue to own the home. If you die, your heirs can inherit the property subject to the balance on the mortgage. If you fail to make the mortgage payments in the future, the mortgage company can foreclose but they cannot sue you to collect any difference should the property sell for less than the amount you owe.

Which chapter do we file to cover credit cards and health bills only?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
You do not have the option to limit the debts included in your bankruptcy. A bankruptcy filing MUST include ALL debts and ALL assets. Failure to include all debts and assets could result in a denial of discharge. As to the most appropriate chapter to file, that decision is a product of an analysis of your current financial situation and your goals. You should seek competent counsel to assist you in making that decision. This answer was provided as a public service to a question posed on the Law Q & A website. The answer is based on the information provided and is limited to those facts. Furthermore, the answer is based on California law and their application to bankruptcy law in California. Additional information could change the context of the question and materially change the answer.
