I lost foreclosure case.ct. but want to file bankrupsy

Mark E. Cohen
Answered by attorney Mark E. Cohen (Unclaimed Profile)

You can file bankruptcy - probably either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 - and if the circumstances are correct, you can apply to engage in loss mitigation through the bankruptcy procedures to try and modify your mortgage. If this is something you are interested in looking into, please feel free to call me on my cell to 516-967-6272. Thank you. Mark E. Cohen, Esq.

Can I file bankruptcy on accounts that I know are scams?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
Every bankruptcy filing will list all of your assets and all of your debts. It is perfectly legal, however, to enter into "reaffirmation" agreements with only some creditors. In other words, make a new promise to pay their claim. You also have the right to voluntarily pay a debt that was discharged in bankruptcy. Only the creditors are bound by the discharge. They cannot pursue their claim against you. So, yes, if you otherwise qualify for bankruptcy, you can file, and still pay some of your creditors voluntarily.

What can I do regarding foreclosure hearings after Chapter 7 bankruptcy? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Without reading the paperwork, it is impossible to say for sure, but typically in these situations, the lender is only seeking to recover the property back through foreclosure. If that is the case, hiring an attorney to defend yourself from something you probably want to happen would be a waste of money.
