Can I sue my friend who owes me $2000?

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
It is quite possibly too late, I would suggest you take any evidence you have all of this loan transaction to an attorney and have it looked into immediately. You may or may not have run past the statute of limitations for enforcement.

What is a motion for relief and is that usually granted?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
My question for you is: why haven't you asked your attorney these questions? When you file a bankruptcy petition, an automatic stay is put in place. This is an injunction that prevents all creditors from taking any action to collect a debt, pursue litigation or foreclose on property. If a creditor has grounds to seek relief from the automatic stay (the removal of the injunction), they must file a motion for consideration of the court. Grounds for relief could be non-payment of regular payments on secured property (loan payments on a residential loan, etc.). Whether or not relief will depends on the facts of each case.

How do I get a list of creditors to show a certain company was included in the bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Michael Burton McFarland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Michael B. McFarland, PA
Your attorney should have a file showing what creditors were listed. If you didn't use an attorney, you can check with the clerk's office at the bankruptcy court. The information should also be available on P.A.C.E.R. (Public Access to Court Electronic Records), but you might have to go through someone who has a P.A.C.E.R. account. An experienced bankruptcy attorney will have such an account, but there is a small cost involved in viewing and copying the records, so you might have to spend a few dollars for that service.
