How old does debt have to be to file bankruptcy?
We will be filing for bankruptcy in approximately 1 month. We’ve already contacted a lawyer..we haven’t filed yet because of the holidays. We had our car repossessed last month and received a letter about the sale of it this past weekend. The car sold at auction for approximately ,000 less than we owed. Is this debt considered new debt? And could be it filed under bankruptcy? Or is there a certain "age" the debt has to be to be claimed?
p.s. We are filing in Alabama.
