How long will my bankruptcy take to be discharged?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
Upon the filing of your petition, creditors are prohibited from attempting to collect from you. When you filed your petition, an injunction was entered (it is called the Automatic Stay). You should inform the creditor of the filing (you might even send them a copy of the notice of the bankruptcy). If they were listed properly in your schedules, and they received actual notice, they are willfully violating the automatic stay. You should contact your attorney and let him/her know of these violations. If you filed a Chapter 7, the discharge should be entered in approximately 2 to 3 months after filing, depending on work flow in the court handling your bankruptcy. Once the discharge has been entered, the Discharge Injunction replaces the Automatic Stay. In either event, creditors are prohibited from taking any action to collect the debt.

Is there anything that can be done to exclude my promissory note from his filing?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
No, bankruptcy laws require a person to list all their debts. Your friend could chose to pay you after the bankruptcy is over, but I wouldn't hold my breath about that happening. Another problem could occur if he continues to pay you up until the time he files bankruptcy, because the bankruptcy trustee could sue you to recover any money paid to you in the months before filing a bankruptcy in order to divide up the money equally among all of his creditors.

What kind of lawyer do I need if the bank says we are in default?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You do not say what kind of debt is involved but it sounds like a credit card or personal loan. When you are served with the court papers you need to find a civil law attorney to answer and represent you in court. There are attorneys who specialize in consumer debt defense. The complaint filed with the court will state the amount owed and the dates you allegedly did not pay. Therefore, when you are served with process you will know what the bank is saying as far as the default. If you are not in default then you will win the case and may be entitled to have your lawyer paid by the bank and the costs of the suit. The Attorney General has nothing to do with a civil lawsuit for a debt unless you think there is consumer fraud involved. Just because the bank is mistaken or keeps lousy record of payments does not mean that is consumer fraud.
