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

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
No you have to include all of your debts in a bankruptcy. The bankruptcy law does not allow you to give a preference to one creditor over another.

Can I file for bankruptcy for medical coverage

Michael D. Siegel
Answered by attorney Michael D. Siegel
Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
Bankruptcy would in theory discharge the claim.  But, the insurance company could claim insurance fraud, and seek to bar your discharge.  You will not know unless you try.

If I didn't think I had to list all of my credit cards with my attorney until after he filed bankruptcy, what should I do?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Surely your lawyer told you to list all possible claims. But whether he did or did not, contact him ASAP and tell him that you inadvertently omitted a number of claims. He will then draft an Amendment to your schedules, listing the creditor by name and address, the amount (exact or approximate) you believe the creditor claims, the date (exact or approximate) that the claim was incurred, and what it was for (e.g. services, loan of money, etc.). You will have to sign the amendment. BR courts charge $30 for an Amendment of up to 5 creditors. If the case is already closed, the court will charge a fee of, I think, $300 to reopen the case.
