How much does it cost to file a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
With regard to chapters 7 and 13, there is a threshold question of eligibility (you may be eligible for one chapter, both chapters, or neither chapter). Beyond that, the analysis is not cost, but cost versus benefit. Chapter 13 is a payment plan; chapter 7 is not, so in many circumstances, chapter 7 is cheaper. Yet, chapter 13 can afford benefits not available under chapter 7, such as the "stripping" of a wholly unsecured second mortgage. Therefore, chapter 13 may afford greater ultimate savings. It's a case by case kind of thing. This answer (as well as our Web site) doesn't address all facts & implications of the question; it's general info, not legal advice to be relied upon; it creates no attorney-client relationship; it may be pertinent to CA only; it's independent of other answers.

What can I do as a co signer if the debtor has filed for bankruptcy?

Jackie Robert Geller
Answered by attorney Jackie Robert Geller
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jackie Robert Geller Attorney at Law
Unfortunately, you are responsible on the loan because you co-signed and became a joint debtor. Your father should do the right thing and help you pay for the car.

Will I get a refund of garnishment if I exceeded the limit after bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
Problem is some creditors refuse to return the funds. So your attorney has to either file a Motion/suit to get the money back or some Trustees will do it for you on a commission basis.
