If I took a student loan for my daughter in my name only, is it dischargeable in bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The only way to discharge a student loan in a chapter 7 bankruptcy is to bring an adversary action to submit evidence that it would be virtually impossible to repay the debt.

Can we keep both cars with negative equity if we file Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
If you have negative equity in each of them, you can keep a dozen cars. The only thing you can lose in a Ch 7 is an asset with positive equity (and no exemption) so it can be sold and the money paid to your creditors. Lots of attorneys say their bankruptcy attorneys that do one or two a year and don't have a clue. I'd advise you to find a different attorney.

Is it legal for a debt collector to come back after we filed for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
If the chapter 13 had been "dismissed," then any unpaid debt would not have been forgiven. If you received a discharge (successfully completed the bankruptcy) then the debt would have presumptively been eliminated in full; you should contact your bankruptcy attorney to address a violation of the discharge-if that is the case.
