In a Ch 7 Bankruptcy, why would Trustee apply to emply "Special Counsel" and a law firm be employed for the Trustee?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
It would state in the application what the purpose is, but there are many possible reasons.  One would be to prosecute fraudulent transfers, another would be to recover preferential payments made by the debtor pursuant to 11 USC 547.  Another would be to litigate a denial of discharge action against the debtor pursuant to 11 USC 727, just to name a few. 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.

Can a creditor still seek debt due to home address change?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
It may depend on whether you filed a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Under a Chapter 7, if the creditor would have been discharged, if properly listed, then they are discharged. The case that holds this is In re Beasley. In a Chapter 13, you have to have served the creditor at the last know address. If the creditor moved and you had no way of knowing, you probably are okay. If the creditor tries to go after you, contact a lawyer to write him a letter and if necessary open your case back up and proceed against him for violation of the discharge order.

My house is in foreclosure and going up for sale this Thursday can we file bankruptcy at this piont to stop it?

You should not file bankruptcy just to avoid a foreclosure sale. Filing bankruptcy just to stop the sale might be regarded as an abuse of the system. Hopefully, the bank will cancel the sale.
