Can I reaffirm my credit card debt?

Paul D Stuber
Answered by attorney Paul D Stuber (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Paul Stuber
You are required to list all debts on the petition. If you do not owe anything on a card then you do not have to list it, but you must list all debts. Reaffirmation agreements are meant for secured debts. People often reaffirm on a home mortgage or a car loan in order to keep the item secured. Even if you do not list a credit card on your bankruptcy petition the card company will find out about the bankruptcy and may cancel your card. None of the above means that you cannot contact the credit card company and start again a card with them. In fact you will be given opportunities just because you filed bankruptcy. You may become a better risk on an unsecured credit line because you have discharged your debt and you cannot file chapter 7 bankruptcy again for 8 years. I am unsure how the store will deal with an employee in this situation. I would suggest you talk to someone in authority about the stores policy on bankruptcy with employees.

What are charge-offs as indicated on one's credit report?

Diane L Drain
Answered by attorney Diane L Drain (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of D. L. Drain, P.A.
Just because a debt is charged off does not mean you will not be sued by a debt collector. Watch the statute of limitations for the state where you live.

Is it illegal for a person who runs a business as a sole proprietor to convert his business to a LLC and then file bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
It is not illegal to change a businesses structure just before filing bankruptcy, but it may not be necessary and it also may harm the person who has done this by making the assets less protected in the bankruptcy filing. Bankruptcy exemptions provide for a substantial amount of protection of business assets, called "tools of the trade" if personally owned.
