Can anything be done if the debtor files bankruptcy but the creditor was not notified?

That wasn't a very well crafted agreement. Contact an attorney that handles legal malpractice cases to see if you have a case against the person that drafted this agreement. You should have retained a security interest in the assets of the business you sold under this contract.

Does the bankrupty on a home include the equity loan?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
Thanks for your question. It is a bit difficult to answer, however, as a home cannot really go bankrupt. Only people (or sometimes businesses) can file for bankruptcy. A bankruptcy discharge will remove your personal liability for your debt - credit card companies, collections agencies, and other creditors cannot attempt to collect against you any longer. This includes your personal liability for any mortgages or home equity lines of credit. However, the mortgages and home equity loans still exist as liens on your property. If those liens go unpaid, the bank can still foreclose on the home and you will eventually have to move out. NOTE: Foreclosure and bankruptcy are two different things, though they have something to do with each other because they involve your debt. If you file for bankruptcy and then go through foreclosure, then the discharge of your personal liability at least ensures that the bank cannot go after you if they sell the home for less than what you owe on the mortgage and/or home equity loan. If you are current on your first mortgage but not on your home equity loan, that too can create some problems and it's possible the bank holding the home equity loan will decide to foreclose anyways. Special relief may be available through a lien stripping option under a chapter 13 plan. You should talk to an experienced bankruptcy attorney to determine your options and the effect each option might have on your living arrangements.

If I am sued over a credit card debt in my name only, can they go after assets in my husband's name only?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Leonard T Schwartz (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Slotnick & Schwartz
In New Jersey they can only go after assets belonging to the debtor. They cannot attach property of your husband.
