Can a Chapter 7 BK petition be filed prior to obtaining credit counseling?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
It is much easier to obtain the counselling prior to filing the bkr. It does not cost much and there is no real reason not to get it done and be able to prove that it has been done prior to filing.

Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
As long as you keep your payments current on the auto loan the lender cannot repossess it. The issue in bankruptcy will be whether you have any equity in the car, whether the car is worth more than you owe on the loan. You are entitled to a $3,000 "exemption" on the equity in the car. If you have less than $3,000 in equity, then the bankruptcy Trustee will not take an interest in the vehicle. If have more than $3,000 in equity (you have "non-exempt equity") than you can work a deal with the Trustee to pay the Trustee the amount of the non-exempt equity and keep the car.

If you're in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy plan, can you file a Chapter 13 instead?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Rustin Scott Polk (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
You are allowed to change the type of case you have. You would not file a new Chapter 13 case if you're already in an active Chapter 7 case, but you can file the appropriate pleadings to have your existing case "Converted." There are a few criteria, so occasionally the debtor's request for Conversion may draw opposition and perhaps even be blocked or denied. But Converting cases between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 is something permitted under bankruptcy law.
