Does one have to wait 3 months after last payment to credit cards to apply for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
What is stated below is not an applicable rule. With regard to payments on credit cards: Preferential payments, meaning significant payments made prepetition (before filing bankruptcy) within certain time frames, may present issues of discriminatory treatment of creditors that could merit redistribution of past payments. With regard to charges on credit cards: The particular nature of charges within 90 days prior to filing may effect a rebuttable presumption of fraud; however, that does not mean charges prior to the 90 days cannot be challenged. When bankruptcy's prepared right by specialized counsel, the materiality of such concerns is properly addressed to ensure the best result and allow for a stress-free and successful process. In short: seek counsel at present and do not risk various mistakes by waiting 3 months based on misinformation or partial information. This answer (by San Diego bankruptcy attorney, Asaph Abrams) doesn't address all facts & implications of the question; it's general info, not legal advice to be relied upon. It creates no attorney-client relationship; it may be pertinent to CA and/or its Southern District Bankruptcy Court only, and it's independent of other answers. It may be time sensitive, as in past the "Use by" date: laws and case law change.

Does it matter if I file bankruptcy before or after marriage?

William D. Cope
Answered by attorney William D. Cope (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of William D. Cope, LLP
Because the debt is not joint between you and your fiance it would probably the cleaner to file the bankruptcy and get it done before you get married.

Can I convert from chapter 13 to chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You can convert if you can qualify to do so. There are many factors that will need to be considered to see if you will qualify for Chapter 7 and you wouldnt want to jump from the frying pan into the fire. You will also want to understand that whatever goals you had in your Chapter 13 (such as lienstripping, catching up on a mortgage loan, paying off your car, paying off the IRS) may end if you convert. Best regards,
