Will the lender be able to put a lien on all of my remaining assets?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
If the loan in question was a purchase money loan (that is a loan used to purchase the property), the lender cannot collect a deficiency (the difference between the sale price of the property and what is owed). If the foreclosure is non-judicial (sale of the property on the courthouse steps), the law does not allow for a deficiency whether the loan is purchase money or not. If the loan is not purchase money and the foreclosure is judicial (the lender files a law suit), a deficiency can be claimed by the lender. Typically, the exposure that borrowers have is liability for sold-out seconds (junior loans that are wiped out by the foreclosure of the senior loan). Once again, if the loan (the junior loan, in this case) is a purchase money loan, there is no claim for deficiency allowed. If the junior loan was a refinance or was made for something other than purchase of the property, the debt becomes unsecured (just like a big credit card bill) and the lender could sue you to collect it.

Will I be able to get federal student loan with permission from the court and can the federal loan department deny me if I have the court’s permission

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kenneth Allen Parker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Kenneth A. Parker, PC
Yes, lenders can deny you. The Judge can approve you to obtain a loan while in a Chapter 13 but the approval does not mean a lender has to give you a loan.

Can I file bankruptcy in order to stop an eviction?

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
If you already have a court judgment for eviction, then bankruptcy will not stop the action. If there is no judgment, bankruptcy will stop the process, but a landlord can petition the court for permission to proceed. The court will almost always do this.
