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

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
It is possible to convert from a 13 to 7. Check w/ your bankruptcy counsel as some trustee's even allow some post petition debt to be included. Only caveat, is that you said husband filed, you did not state joint filing, so your debt may still remain.

Can my ex-girlfriend include my truck when she files for bankruptcy if we both have our names on it?

Answered by attorney Roxanne Eberle (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Wild Sky Law Group, PLLC
If your truck is paid off, there is no one to "turn it in to." It sounds like she has partial ownership in your truck, which may end up begin transferred to the bankruptcy estate if she does not use an exemption for it. However, if she has sufficient exemptions for it, you may be able to have an attorney help you use them to exempt her ownership in your truck from the bankruptcy. You want to talk to a qualified debtor-creditor attorney for assistance.
