Does a confirmed Chapter 13 stop any creditor on the petition from filing a complaint for fraud for the same debt with the Department of Insurance?

11 USC sec 362 stays civil actions to collect debts and enforce contracts, it does not stay criminal or administrative actions which are not directed to collecting debts (such as your action to revoke your license). Bankruptcy and the automatic stay are Federal law and are generally exempt from regulation by state statutes. An objection or adversary proceeding based on fraud in the bankruptcy court only goes to the issue of whether the debt is dischargeable in the bankruptcy. Not whether the debt is civil or criminal fraud under state law. Now there is always an issue of debtor harassment by a stayed creditor. If there really isn't any evidence to support the charge at the state DOI, then you should notify the creditor that the only rationale purpose for this action is obviously to force you to repay a dischargeable debt and that you will seek sanctions from the bankruptcy court. Bankruptcy court has a big advantage over state court because if you win, the creditor has to pay your legal costs There is also the possibility of a defamation case in state court. If the creditor lied to the DOI - and you can prove it (since complaints are generally in writing, this should be easy to ascertain), you can sue them for libel.

What happens to my half of property when my property partner files for bankruptcy?

If his portion is not exempt, the trustee can sell the whole thing and give you half the proceeds.

How likely will I be forced to file for a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)

There are three basic tests to determine if you qualify for Chapter 7 or 13. First income minus ALLOWABLE expenses (term of art that is applied differently depending on where you live and file the bankruptcy). LIQUIDATION, or "do you have equity in stuff that is not protected by an exemption?" Exemptions are either State or Federal Laws that tell you what you get to keep. If you have equity in an amount higher then the applicable exemption (again, depends on where you live and where you file) or want to keep property that has equity that is not covered by an exemption at all, then you may have to file a chapter 13 to "repay" that equity to the creditors. The general rule here is that the creditors are supposed to get what they would have gotten had you filed a chapter 7 and the property would then have been liquidated and the equity paid to the creditors. The Means Test is the third general test. Based on your State of residence, household size at the time you file and gross income for the six months before you file you may be below or above the median income. Median income means that half of the households of a similar size are above and half are below a certain income. It is not an average. Below the median the Means Test is no issue. Above the Median Income gets complicated and requires a review from a qualified attorney. Having said all that the chapter under which you filed or may be filing may or my not be appropriate based on your individual circumstances. Relying on what others who have filed have to say or the experience of someone else who filed a bankruptcy will not aid you because everyone's circumstances are different.
