What can we do, how can you file if you have no money isn't this why you are filing?

Charles J Schneider
Answered by attorney Charles J Schneider (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Charles J. Schneider, P.C.
You are not filing because you have no money. You are probably filing because you may owe maybe 10 - 100 thousand dollars worth of debt. Your message does not reveal either what you are making nor what you owe. If all you owed was only $1,000 dollars you would probably pay it and not file Bankruptcy. By the way if you truly have no money and own nothing why then file bankruptcy? You can't take blood from a stone.

Will the bank modify the loan to remove the husband's name?

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
The bank may change the name but they will not. Transferring the property by quit claim Deed is always a mistake. First, it violates the mortgage unless you have the permission of the Note Holder to do so, and, again, that is never given. When you change the Deed without the permission of the Note holder you are in default under the Note and Mortgage even if you are current with the payments. Taking someone's name off the Deed if they are going to file bankruptcy waives the exemption, and means nothing because it would be a fraudulent transfer and the Trustee can take the house. Even if your attorney lies to the Trustee in the paperwork you will be unable to sell the house in the future if it is not listed in the Bankruptcy petition.

I filed bankruptcy in 2006 since then I have so far in debt I was unemployed for 15 months can I file again?

You may want to consider filing a Chapter 13 bill repayment plan based on your ability to repay. So even though you are not eligible for Chapter 7 relief yet, you are able to file Chapter 13.
