What are the bankruptcy effects on a new spouse with good credit?

Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
Someone who hasn't filed bankruptcy is unaffected by a new spouse's filing. There is one distinction. If the couple is applying for a joint debt the credit reports are, in effect, "married." If the non-filer applies in their name only the credit reports remain separate.

Should I fire my bankruptcy attorney and get another before the 341 meeting scheduled with creditors?

Bankruptcy lawyer at The Law Office of Marc S. Stern
If you are unhappy with your lawyer and not communicating, it is time to get a new one. Make sure, however that the problem is not your unrealistic expectations. Changing lawyers in the middle of a case is time consuming and difficult. It is better to do so before the ? 341 hearing than after. Positions can get set and impressions made that are difficult if not impossible to correct later.

What happens with a deed in lieu after a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
This is a good example of why people should not reaffirm the mortgage in a chapter 7. The debt was discharged and BOA cannot come after you on that debt. Marking it as "settled" or "paid settlement" should not affect your credit, which has already been damaged by filing bankruptcy. The credit you are able to get afterward is dependent upon the lending practices of the institutions you apply to. They can be assured that you will not be filing bkr for another approximate 7 years. Use that to your advantage.
