Is a returned check a consumer debt after payment?

Answered by attorney Edward M Olson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Olson Law Firm
You can remove false information from your credit report. However, if you wrote a check and it bounced, it is a bad check... even if you replaced it with a good check later.

How much cost would it be to file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Philip Rory Boardman (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Haven Law Group, P.C.
It depends on which type of bankruptcy is filed. A chapter 7 generally will cost approximately $1000 plus costs. A chapter 13 will generally cost about $3000 plus costs. However, much of the attorney fees is usually paid through the plan.

Can we file for bankruptcy to discharge the debt on a house?

Answered by attorney Todd Allen Whiteley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Todd Whiteley
Assuming you don't have other assets which would not be able to be exempted in the bankruptcy estate, then your income scenario fits bankruptcy chapter 7 protection perfectly. You list the home mortgage/debt as a secured claim and express the intent to surrender the house (and thereby convert the secured debt to unsecured debt). Unsecured debt is dischargeable through bankruptcy, and any 1st, 2nd or subsequent mortgage debts would be discharged through the bankruptcy.
