What can I do if I filed a chapter 9 years ago that was discharged and I currently owe $12,000.00 in credit card debt?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Stephen Christopher Whalen (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Stephen C. Whalen, P.A.
You are eligible to file Ch 7 since your previous filing date was over 8 years ago. However, unless the credit card purchase of the car was secured (it's possible that it was not) your would not have a debt to reaffirm. In other words you would own the car free and clear. That may not be as good as it sounds. Depending on the value of the car you may be required to surrender it to the trustee or pay for the car if you filed for Ch 7. An analysis of the applicable exemption laws must be performed.

Will I be able to get federal student loan with permission from the court and can the federal loan department deny me if I have the court’s permission

default-avatar
Answered by attorney John F. Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
The court can allow an additional student loan but most probably cannot make the agency lend you more given the fact that you are in default, and paying off an earlier advance under a chapter 13 plan.

What happens if Bankruptcy is not filed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
This is a good question. I guess the real problem would arise when a creditor gets a judgment against her and seeks to take her deposition, but she does not show up. She could be held in contempt of court and placed in the custody of the sheriff. This is the prime thing that we would want to avoid. Filing a bankruptcy would make it so that this could never happen, it would wipe all of her debt off the slate. It costs $306 to file a chapter 7 for the filing fee, and a reasonable attorneys fee is around what I charge, $1200. So, for about $1500 a chapter 7 can be accomplished.
