Can I file chapter 13 bankruptcy with my daughter for a car I cosigned for her that she let go back and not affect my husband?

Edward C. Hay
Answered by attorney Edward C. Hay
Bankruptcy lawyer at Pitts, Hay Hugenschmidt, PA
You can file without affecting your husband, especially if there is no joint debt. If your daughter needs a bankruptcy, she will need to file her own case.

Can I file bankruptcy on accounts that I know are scams?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)

Not quite. When you file for bankruptcy protection, you must list all of your debts, without omission, and they will be discharged. However, nothing prevents you from continuing to pay whatever debts you want to pay after you file for bankruptcy protection, but you no longer have legal liability to do so.

How do I wipe a student loan off my record?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey P. Heineman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Heineman Law Office
You must file a bankruptcy, and then file an adversary proceeding, based on that bankruptcy, in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court. Case law on this issue has created a test to evaluate whether your loan can be eliminated or possibly reduced. The test is a little complicated, and it takes into account your current situation, your future income potential, your age, your health, your cost of living, etc.. In short, it evaluates everything. To fight this matter can be expensive. The attorney fees will likely exceed $10,000.00, and very possibly much more. Student loan companies fight these matters to the bitter end, usually. The last one I assisted on had legal fees of over $20,000.
