I have 20K in the bank but it is not enough to clear my debt. Can I file bankruptcy Chapter 7?

I own a home in which I am willing giving up due to my circumstances. I became deaf. Since then, I have been unable to find a job. I have been living off of unemployment which is not enough to pay my mortgage. When I tried to send partial payments, they returned my payments. I was given a forbearance but that did not waive the amount I was behind which is over 12 months now. My unemployment is running out and though I am capable to continue to work in my field with reasonable accommodations, or even outside my field, I am not getting any job offers.

I have 20K to use towards prepayment for rent, food, etc, for a little while….to help by more time for me to search and find a job.

I have a few credit cards, one is up to date on the payments, several medical bills, student loans, unemployment payments that I need to repay in a different state, about 00. Back when my credit was good, I was a victim of identity theft which is why internet accounts, credit cards and wireless phone accounts were opened in my name. I tried disputing the items that were not mine but only 1 thing was removed.

Will Chapter 7 Bankruptcy help me? Will they try to take the little money that I have to live off of. I also have 3 paid off vehicles.
I AM NOT YELLING. JUST WANT TO MAKE THIS MORE CLEAR FOR ALL TO READ. I DO NOT HAVE A JOB, I DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO MAKE MONTHLY PAYMENTS ON ANYTHING RIGHT NOW SO CONSOLIDATION IS OUT THE QUESTION. GETTING SIDE LOANS IS OUT THE QUESTION. NO NEED TO SUGGEST SUCH. THANKS.

Does it make a difference to an attorney which bankruptcy chapter you file?

Hi, would an attorney push for chapter 13 instead of chapter 7 bankruptcy? Do attorneys benefit when filing different ways? Do they make more money one way over the other? Thank you

Shouldnt your bankruptcy Attorney tell you if your bankruptcy is Approved before you pay them?

I filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy a few days ago,ok. I have paid my fee’s in full so does that mean im good, im in bankruptcy until I go to court and get discharge, they dont have to approve it do, they and if they do should my attorney have told me if I didnt have enough debt first, and tell them that they wont approve it. I havent extablished any new debt in about a year, and i got to much so fast that it over welmed me, so I couldnt pay any of it. I have been leting it ride until I had the money to pay my attorney in full so i could get a case number, so i should be good right since my attorney took my money

I just filed chapter 7 bankruptcy. Do I continue to pay the loans I wish to reaffirm or wait until discharge?

My attorney just filed my petition for chapter 7 bankruptcy and I am going to a meeting of creditors in about 4 weeks. Do I continue paying on the loans i wish to reaffirm and try to catch them up (I am currently 1 payment behind on my car and i want to keep it) or do I wait until the meeting of creditors and just reaffirm? After reaffirmation will i have to catch up what i was behind, or do they just add what i was behind to the loan and allow me to make regular payments again?

Do joint credit cards have to be listed for Bankruptcy?

I am going to file chapter 7 bankruptcy and I have a joint credit card between myself and my son. What I would like to do is keep the credit card so I still have something for emergencies after I file bankruptcy. Do I have to list the joint account when filing bankruptcy? Because I would like to keep it open and keep making the payments as usual, and if I did list it could that effect my sons credit, even if he makes the payments, since he is joint on the account,?

Is it possible to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy in California without an attorney?

I have in the last 3 years has a VERY significant decrease inincome and am seeking to file for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy. I have spoken with several attorneys who have all determined that I do qualify to file for Chapter 7… My question is this… Is an attorney required? What is the least expensive way to file for bankruptcy? I ask because the least expensive quote I received was approximately 00 which I cannot afford. If I could afford a chunk payment of 00 I think I’d be more likely to pay off my debts than to file bankruptcy…yah know? Anyone have any suggestions?

My ex filed for bankruptcy and his name is secondary on my loan…will they repo my car?

He filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy with his wife this past fall. While we were married, we bought the car I am driving now, I am the primary borrower, he is the secondary. The title says me OR him and he was not required to sign in order for me to register here (I moved out of state for a year after the divorce then came back). I tried calling my leinholder (Chase) but they won’t refinance and my credit now sucks because I was out of work (right when I moved out of state) due to a broken leg.

I have been making my payments on time (for the last year almost) but am too scared to call Chase and ask them. I realize I should ultimately call a lawyer but figured I could gain some insight here. I have gotten a few notices from his laywer, listing myself along with the rest of his creditors. He owes me nothing – and in our divorce the papers say we were to take the cars we were presently driving, but neither was listed by make/model etc.

Can/will they repo my car? PS – I live in NH.
I was thinking perhaos because his name is also on the loan they’d take it…
