Can I file for bankruptcy on debt that I owe to pornographic websites?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Deborah Ann Stencel (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Deborah A. Stencel
While it is possible that more information is needed to be certain, that seems like the kind of debt that can be discharged in a bankruptcy. The exceptions to discharge you are vulnerable to include incurring a debt with no intent to pay (I.e., fraud). It is possible some these sites are not United States-based which does add another layer of complexity. I hope you are doing better now. Consult with an attorney, bringing any letters or notices and information about these debts that you can bring.

If I file Chapter 7, will my son also be obligated to file since we are joint owners of the home?

Answered by attorney Paul Norwood Jonas Ross (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul N. J. Ross Law, PLLC
No. Your son will remain liable on the credit loan against the home. But since it is secured, you will have to make payments on it anyway to keep your home.

What can we do if its only our second mortgage that was reaffirmed with chapter 7 and not our first?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David Justin Harelik (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Westgate Law
You are right that the 2nd lender has violated the FCRA. You have rights and you need an attorney that can handle them. You are out of luck on the 1st mortgage since you can't reopen the bankruptcy case to address the first reaffirmation agreement, but you absolutely can address the 2nd mortgage. I would not send more than one letter to the 2nd showing that you reaffirmed the loan. If they did not fix it within 30 days, I would bring an FCRA claim against them on day 31 as well as a claim against them inside the bankruptcy.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
