How can I stop being harassed after bankruptcy?

David Michael Benson
Answered by attorney David Michael Benson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Benson Law Firm
Unfortunately, the lender is generally not compelled to foreclose on the property or purchase it at a sheriff's sale. Your personal obligation may be discharged, but until title transfers you're still the owner of the property and thus responsible for maintaining the property. The best thing to do under these circumstances is to find a qualified attorney who can assist you in dealing with any discharged and post-petition creditors, as well as explore options for transferring the property out of your name.

Are they able to sue or try and take any assets of ours?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
While your question is a bit sparse in information, I think you are safe. Your husband's liability-if any-for the dog bite was presumably discharged in the BR. Also, in all likelihood any applicable statute of limitations period has passed. If the victim obtained a judgment against you, however, you will need to clear the lien of judgment if you wish to sell the property. This is generally not a difficult task, but to move it along efficiently you'd do well to retain an experienced BR lawyer.

Can I file a chapter 13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You can file Chapter 13 without your wife but you don't mention the reason for doing that or file a Chapter 13 instead of a Chapter 7. It might make a difference that you are not filing a joint case, particularly if you are thinking of removing liens that might include your wife. If you want to do is pay arrears on the mortgage or vehicle then filing without your wife should be no problem. You need to consult with a lawyer to discuss your situation and goals and determine if filing is the right thing to do and what Chapter would be best.
