What is the impact on personal banking after filing a Chapter 7?

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I love when paralegals give legal advice when it is against the law for them to do so.   You filed a bankruptcy case in bad faith and there can be many ramifications for doing so, not just on your bank accounts, but also on your ability to file future bankruptcy cases should the need arise. In any event, you haven't provided enough information to answer your question, since I don't know what you mean when you say your bank accounts have been "affected".  That is far too vague to tell you what will happen if and when your bankruptcy case is dismissed.   If you bank at Wells Fargo and they froze the funds in your account, then yes that should be remedied once your case is dismissed.   If it's some other issue, there may be other results. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

Will I still have a lawsuit if I make payment arrangements outside of court?

A lawsuit can be settled by payment arrangement. An agreement to make payments will also specify what happens to the lawsuit. In some cases the lawsuit will be dismissed.

What should I do to prevent foreclosure on my home?

Answered by attorney Tony Mankus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Mankus & Marchan, Ltd.
If your mom was a co-signer on a loan to your sister and brother in law, or even if she was just a guarantor, she is legally liable for any balance left after foreclosure on the sister's home. If the bank gets a judgment against your mother for the balance due, it can pursue collection efforts against your mom - maybe even foreclose on your mother's home if they record a memorandum of judgment against her property. You should consult with an attorney to see if there is any way to protect your mother's equity in her home.
