If my lawyer did not include my car lease in my chapter 7, what should I do?

Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
You under an obligation to review your bankruptcy petition and ensure that all creditors are listed. It is not your attorneys fault that your car lease was not included. That being said, you must file a motion to reopen your case if it has been closed, file an amendment to the bankruptcy petition adding your car lender, and filing motion to assume the lease. This may or may not work considering there is a deadline within which you must assume or reject your leases. My office would charge $2500 for the service. You may be better off to simply continue to pay your lease payments and if the car company attempts to repossess you can sue in state court since you're not in default of the agreement.

It is possible, but the practice is highly frowned upon. You should just take the course. You can do it on-line in one hour for as little as $5.00.

I filed for bankruptcy in 2005, can I file again now?

If you filed a Chapter 7 in 2005 and want to file another Chapter 7, the waiting period is 8 years from the date the 2005 case was filed. If your 2005 case was filed in February for example, you could re-file in February 2013.
