What happens when cash advances or large charges are made on a credit card before filing chapter 7 bankruptcy

Michael D. Siegel
Answered by attorney Michael D. Siegel
Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
The creditor and/or trustee will question if you had a genuine intent at the time of the charge to pay it back.  If during the lookback period, the burden is on you to prove it was not fraud.  Never do this, as if makes a good bankruptcy into a bad one.  You are not the first one to think of this idea.

Should I get a contract saying that money was received was a gift and not a loan so it can't be retracted in the future?

Answered by attorney Bijal Mahesh Jani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Bijal Jani
If your friend is gifting you the money (that is, does not require that the money be paid back), then it should be in a written note which he has signed.

Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
If you got your debt discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, then you are not liable for the balances on your properties unless you reaffirmed the debt as part of your bankruptcy process. The banks want you to sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure because it saves them the time and expense of having to go through the foreclosure process in order to obtain title to the houses. Not signing doesn't create any obligation to you.
