Will bankruptcy take my car?

Cary Sawyer Smalley
Answered by attorney Cary Sawyer Smalley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The Smalley Law Firm, LLC
You can generally keep your car and still file for bankruptcy. However, if you are making car payments you will need to continue to make them.

What should I do if I have been summoned by a mortgage company after my mortgage was discharged through bankruptcy?

Mona Patel
Answered by attorney Mona Patel (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Lady Justice
It would be difficult to advise what to do without knowing exact details, however if you surrendered your home in your bankruptcy or were foreclosed on prior to filing bankruptcy then you may want to send a copy of your discharge papers to the mortgage servicer and/or the attorney listed on the summons.

What does a signed substitute trustee’s deed mean on a mortgage loan after our bankruptcy was discharge?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
It should have no effect on you. When your debts were discharged, your personal liability for the loan was eliminated. Assuming that you did not sign a reaffirmation agreement, you have no personal liability for the loan. However, the property is still liable for the loan. Each Deed of Trust has a trustee. It is not unusual for trustees to be substituted. Each time that happens, a document must be recorded letting the world know who the new trustee is. That has no effect on your liability and your lender should know that.
