Can I sell a house after the loan wasn't reaffirmed?

Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
You certainly can sell the house, because you still own it. Whether or not the mortgage debt was reaffirmed does not in any way effect your title to the house, or your status as its owner.

What is my first step if I am being sued by a finance company for a contract loan?

Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
When you are served with a lawsuit you have 3 options: 1) Contact the lender and either pay the debt in full or negotiate a settlement. You should do this right away, for if you work something out with the lender within 30 days from the day you were served, and you don't file an Answer with the Court by then, the lender will get a default judgment against you. After they get the judgment that opens them up to remedies like garnishment of your wages and bank accounts. 2) File an Answer with the Court. If you don't believe you are liable for the debt, you can fight it in Court. If the amount owed is under $25,000, the Court will put your case in the mandatory arbitration program and an arbitrator will decide your case. If you are liable for the debt, filing an Answer will buy you more time to determine what you want to do about the debt. 3) File Bankruptcy before the lender obtains a default judgment. A bankruptcy filing will immediately stop the lawsuit in its tracks and, if you successfully complete the bankruptcy, you will relieved of the debt forever. I highly recommend that you consult an attorney to discuss these options.

Can you go on a trip to Hawaii if you are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Nothing about Chapter 13 will stop you from going as long as you can find the money to pay for the trip, or better still, find someone else to pay. Chapter 13 will keep you on a very tight budget and you may not be able to afford a vacation as you once could.
