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

Answered by attorney John F Brennan (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
I am sorry to hear of your situation. You should really contact an attorney, have the contract reviewed to see what can be done. If this is truly fraudulent you should be recontacting your credit card companies about it and may wish to speak with your local country prosecutor. Yes, most probably the debts could or would be dischargable in bankruptcy, but again, you should present the entire situation to an attorney before you make any decision. Generally, when you file a bankruptcy you are required to list all of your debts and assets, regardless of their source. The problem here seems to be the bad guys got the money, delivered nothing and you (and the credit card companies who are not the bad guys) are the victims.

What do we need to do to qualify for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Sheryl Susan Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
There are two sections of the bankruptcy code which typically apply to individuals: Chapter 7 (commonly referred to as a "straight" bankruptcy and Chapter 13 (commonly referred to as a reorganization or repayment plan). In most cases, all of your assets are exempt from being sold to pay your debts. In other words, you get to keep everything but your debts. Student loans are generally not dischargeable, but there are some exceptions. You can claim an exemption for your primary residence, so it may make financial sense for you to move into the trailer (assuming the amount of equity does not exceed the allowable amount AND you can afford to make the monthly payment), and let the house go back to the bank in your bankruptcy proceeding (assuming you are underwater and cannot afford to pay the mortgage).

Can the bank take my car if I file for bankruptcy?

No. You are entitled to keep one car per person in bankruptcy. However, if you are making car payments you will need to continue to make them.
