I filed chapter 7 in the state of CA. The deadline just passed on the 26th of Feb. for any debtors to object. I was told that my next step is to receive my discharge date. I haven’t filed my 2007 return yet but I anticipate about k, when will it be safe to file? Can the trustee still take my refund now? What about after my discharge date? And how long should I wait so that I know it safe? I need my refund to get a new car.

After going to debt counseling,I had no option left except to file a chapter 7. Listed with my debtors are 2 payday loans,2 weeks prior to filing,I took out a payday loan for 5,yes it was stupid,but food on the table seem more important at the time.I called and informed them,that I had to retain a lawyer,and was informed that when I signed the contract I would not be filing bankruptcy within 30 days,and my attorney was a personel friend.I did not plan on filing,all other options were used up.Can and will this effect my bankruptcy? Also,the 2nd payday loan I borrowed from is a prominent member of the community,and told me he would get his $ one way or the other,even if it ment following my butt all the way up the court house steps.I am a emotional wreck! The stress of the bankruptcy has taken it’s toll,and now this.I will call my attorney on Mon.,but if anyone could help relieve some of this emotional roller coaster,I would deeply appreciate it!
I have a family, we don’t charge anything anymore. Been paying on these bills for several years. Make good wages, all goes to credit card payments. Have about 120 bucks a week for groceries, gas, entertainment. I’m gonna whine here a bit so bear with me, I have made bad decision with my finances, put money into our house that is now maybe worth what we owe on it….Is that any different than the banks making bad decisions? You know, the whole bailout thing. Where’s mine? Or at least a low interest government loan.
Madoff, i agree with your comments. My house is not the issue.I give 65k for it with some land. My wife and i make that much per year. I don’t think i’m house poor. We all make bad decisions in our life. And i would be glad to pay my debtors back. But i can’t do it with 20% interest.
While beginning the bankruptcy process my husband and I paid our attorney in full and then continued to gather the necessary paper work, in the mean time with refinancing and sitting down with some of our debtors we now feel that we don’t need to file. Our attorney is trying to tell us that he is only able to refund us 0 out of our original 00. We have not signed any of the final paper work nor were we ready to proceed to the actual filing. I don’t see where he has done anything so far can any one tell me the steps of filing before filing. I just don’t feel that he’s done 00 worth the work yet.
Is it ok to surrender my car back to the bank before my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is finalized? I’ve already attended the hearing, I am expecting a successful Chapter 7 release soon but not sure exactly what date, I have the car listed on my Debtors Statement of Intention as "Surrender", the next car payment is due this Saturday, I don’t have the money to pay it, will I jeapordize my Chapter 7 release by surrendering the car back to the bank now, should I wait until my release arrives in the mail, or does the timing of this not really make a difference?
I filed bankruptcy on Jan 28th and went to my trustees meeting on March 5th. I thought I was in the clear. Then yesterday I get a letter saying the following:
The court has entered an order pursuant to its admission and disciplinary rules D.Id.L.Civ.R83.4, and 83.5 that attorney(his name) voluntarily disqualifiied himself from the practice of law until further notice Based thereupon:
YOU ARE HEREBY NOTIFIED that no further proceedings can be had in this action that will affect the rights of the party or parties representeted by Counsel, for a period of 21 days from the date of this order, except as the court might allow for a good cause.
It is further ordered that counsels clients the above debtors shall retain another attorney to appear for client, or in the alternative appear in person by filing written notice with the court stating how client will represent itself within 21 days of date of this order. If client fails to appear either in person or through a new attorney within suck 21 day period, such failure shall be sufficient grounds for the entry of default or other relief on pending matters, or may be grounds for dismissial of any mortions or proceedings with predjudice and without further notice.
So if I have already completed the whole process, filing, all the classes, and going to the meeting of creditors meeting, what do I have to do?? please help if you know what all this means and my best step moving forward. Thanks!
Today I called about my gift card for Bennigan’s and I received the following message.
"S&A Restaurant Corp. and certain affiliates have filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 7 of the bankruptcy code. The companies that filed bankruptcy cases are popularly known as Steak & Ale, Bennigan’s and Tavern restaurants. However, not all stores using these trade names have filed bankruptcy. For example, stores operated by franchisees are not named as debtors in these filings.
"It is our understanding the Michelle Chow will be appointed as Chapter 7 trustee for the entities that have filed. These are filed as liquidation cases. Future decisions regarding the affairs of the debtor companies will be determined and administered by the trustee.
"If you wish to file a claim, the form Proof of Claim can be found online at: http://www.uscourts.gov/rules/BK_Forms_1207/B_010_1207f.pdf.
"The filing does not include Ponderosa and Bonanza which operate under Metromedia Steakhouses Company, L.P."
My question is…
How do I file a claim? (There are many terms and questions on the form that I am not familiar with and I would love to see an example of a completed form.)
