Can he file bankruptcy and does it in any way affect my credit or the loans?

Arnold Harold Wuhrman
Answered by attorney Arnold Harold Wuhrman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at THE WUHRMAN LAW FIRM
Your ex can file bankruptcy, and it SHOULDN'T affect your credit or any of your loans because you're not filing with him. Unfortunately, I have to say SHOULDN'T because many times I've seen where a bank will go ahead and mark your accounts as being in bankruptcy, and they end up reporting them that way on your credit. You can then challenge those entries on your credit, but it is, in truth, a pain.

Does it matter if I file bankruptcy before or after marriage?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Gregory J. Wald
It could make a difference in terms of your eligibility for Chapter 7. However, it is impossible to know without first knowing your what your income and household size are now, and what your total household income and household size will be after you are married.

I filed Bankruptcy to stop foreclosure the bank was still able to foreclose what legal actions can I take?

Answered by attorney Carl C Silver (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carl C. Silver Attorney at Law
If the bankruptcy was filed before the date of the foreclosure sale you could conceivably try to have the sale set aside as void due to the bankruptcy stay. However, it is now 4 years later and someone else is probably living in the house. You will undoubtedly spend more on attorney fees doing all this than you would ever recover for any damage to your credit if that is what you think your damages are.

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.
