Do I have to file for bankruptcy if I'm on SSI disability and own no assets?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Good question! As long as only social security is deposited into your bank account, no creditor can take it under state laws. Other assets that are protected by state laws include your vehicle (up to $15K), your furniture and wearing apparel ($12K), your jewelry ($5K), as well as other items. I urge you to have a conversation with your bank manager to be aware of bank policy when a judgment comes in.

Will credit card judgments be discharged in bankruptcy? How?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Yes. Absent special circumstances, such as fraud, the entire debt can be discharged. However, if your state provides a 'judgment lien' on real estate, you may have to go through a separate procedure in state court (BR is federal) to have the lien deemed satisfied. A good lawyer can be an awfully good investment. Good Luck.

Do I qualify for bankruptcy if I have more credit card and medical bills than the money coming in?

Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
It is possible that you can qualify for bankruptcy if you have more bills than you can afford to pay. You should meet with a bankruptcy attorney to go over your full situation, including income, expenses, total debts, and assets that will need to be exempted. Only by doing a full debt analysis can you determine if you are eligible for bankruptcy, and which chapter is appropriate for your situation.
