Can my wife co-sign for a used vehicle for me if she is in bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Your spouse could co-sign for you if she is in Chapter 7, but would need to obtain court permission to co-sign if she is in Chapter 13. I would not recommend that she do so.

What are the biggest differences between chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
In Ch. 7, you are simply liquidating your Schedule F unsecured, non-priority debt and paying nothing towards them. If you obtain a discharge, you'll owe these creditors nothing. HOWEVER, since the bankruptcy act was overhauled in 2005, you must now qualify to file a Ch. 7 under the MEANS TEST with no presumption of abuse arising. In a Ch. 13, you actually pay ALL of your creditors SOMETHING in a plan that must be confirmed by the court. You must have enough DMI (disposable monthly income) to support a confirmable plan. How much you must pay monthly will depend on your income and your debts. You also have many more advantageous tools at your disposal with a Chapter 13, too, such as the ability to pay past due mortgage payments (even if you're in an ongoing foreclosure action), readjust car loans or other secured debts that are 910 days or older, the ability to avoid a judgment lien, pay back taxes through the plan, etc. Question Detail: I am trying to figure out the difference between the two to help me decide the best route for me. - only a consultation with a consumer bankruptcy attorney can help you determine what route is best for you. However, if you're trying to stop a foreclosure sale, repossession of a car, stop an action for back child support or alimony, lowering of secured debt over 910 days old, etc., then Ch. 13 MAY be your best option.

If I started being garnished 4/27/17 and filed bankruptcy and had garnishment stopped 6/15/17, will I get reimbursed the money?

Any money withheld for the garnishment after you filed the bankruptcy will be returned to you. The rest is lost.
