Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

Daniel J. Winter
Answered by attorney Daniel J. Winter (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Daniel J. Winter
Yes, you usually can keep your car when you file a bankruptcy. Most car lenders allow you to keep the vehicle as long as you are up to date in the payments, and have full-coverage insurance. Also, in most cases, the car lender will require you to sign a "reaffirmation agreement" for you to keep the car and still be responsible for making all the payments. It is important that you talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney to review your whole situation and how a bankruptcy case would work for you.

Can bankruptcy end a civil debt?

Answered by attorney Willie Stephen Graves (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Graves Law Firm
The auto accident debt should generally be treated as any other unsecured debt that can be discharged under Chapter 7, unless you were driving drunk at the time of the accident. There's a special provision of the bankruptcy code that prevents discharge of debt incurred because of drunk driving.

How do I respond to a summons for bad credit card debt?

Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
You need to file bankruptcy to get rid of all of the credit card and medical bill debt. It would be best if you went to the hearing in the small claims court. Your defense is that there is a 5 year statute of limitations here in Florida and it has been more than five years since you defaulted. If that does not work you can rest assured that there is a way to get judgments against you wiped off the slate. The filing fee for bankruptcy is $306, and a reasonable attorneys fee is around $1200. Do not think that a bankruptcy petition preparer can do anything near what an experienced attorney can do. They charge a lot less but they cannot legally give you any legal advice whatsoever. So, save up to hire a bankruptcy attorney and find one in your area who will take payments. The real question to you is whether it is worth approximately $1500 to get out of $insert total amount you owe here. The answer is always yes. You will undoubtedly qualify to file a chapter 7 bankruptcy because you will be making less than $40,000 per year on disability. You can go to my website and download a pamphlet I have written about Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I hope this has helped you.
