Can I file for a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
I would suggest simply sending them your discharge letter and 341(a) letter that was originally sent to you (with all your case info on it). Based on In Re Beasley, even if a creditor was left off due to clerical error, you are still protected because a bankruptcy filing is a public filing so it's as if the whole world is on notice.

What if I can't pay a judgment on a credit card debt, how can I get out of it, can I file bankruptcy, can I dispute it?

Once a creditor obtains a judgment, they can utilize the services of local law enforcement to take money & property from you by wage garnishment, bank account attachment, liening any real estate you own, and taking property not protected under state laws called exemptions. If you can qualify to file bankruptcy, you can eliminate this debt in bankruptcy, but if the creditor has recorded a lien on any of your real estate, a supplemental proceeding will be necessary to remove that lien. As you are finding out, the divorce court can say one thing, but if the person you married is irresponsible, you can be stuck holding the bag. IMHO, anyone thinking about getting married ought to think twice and have an investigator check out the financial background of the intended.

What exactly is the customer claim form for Energy Future Holdings bankruptcy and how do I fill it out?

Answered by attorney Rustin Scott Polk (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Polk & Associates
If Energy Future Holdings owes you money for something, then you use the Proof of Claim form to tell the bankruptcy court how much the company owes you. Then someday if there is money left over to pay claims with, you may get a portion of what Energy Future Holdings owes you. If they don't owe you any money at this point, then you are free to ignore the claim form that you received.
