How much does chapter 7 bankruptcy cost?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Like any legal case, it depends on your own case. It depends on the type of debts you have, whether or not you are self employed or have a business, whether or not you have real property, your income, car and other secured debt, etc. Usually attorneys' fees start at $1,000. There is a $299 court filing fee and most attorneys will get a credit report that will cost $25 and up.

How can I tell if a home foreclosure was written off?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
If there was only one loan on the property and there was a trustee' sale then there is no liability of the deficiency (the amount owed less the amount received by the bank at the trustee's sale). If there was a second loan then you still generally owe the unpaid balance of the second loan. The bank may have written it off which means they took it off their accounting books and transferred it to a collection company or sold the debt to another company. You still owe it but not to the same bank. it may not be in your credit report because some of the companies that buy bad debt don't report it to the credit bureau or don't report it for a long time. Therefore, the fact that it is not shown in your credit report does not mean you do not owe it. Sooner or later you will be contacted about it or served with a lawsuit. Your mother will not be liable because of her bankruptcy but they will go after you. You may also have a tax problem since the bank is required to report cancellation of debt to the IRS using a form called 1099-C.

Can we walk away from the mortgage AFTER discharge and not get a 'Foreclosure' status on our credit report?

The two processes are separate. If you walk away from the mortgage you will get a foreclosure on your record. Try to work with the bank and a realtor to do a short sale.
