Does anyone know what to expect in Bankruptcy Ch 13 in the state of California ? I'm scared need advise"?

my property has too much Equity, my attorney filed a Bankruptcy Chapter 7, & later on after filing for ch 7 our attorney realized that our equity is high so then he asked me & my husband 2 convert 2 Bankruptcy CH 13, this alarmed us, We are so comfused & scared more than ever, We are current with our primary Mortgage & 1st & 2nd Loan with our Bank that is tied up with our property, our balance is $ 129,000.00 & our Appraisal is for 5,000.00 & we are current with our Property Taxes/Homeowners Insurance. & we are current with our car payment & auto insurance. Our reason 2 File for Bankruptcy in the 1st place was because of personal credit card debts, we were told from our attorney that we do qualify for CH 7, Now our attorney tells us we do not qualify for ch 7 so we have to convert to CH 13, but he says our home is not secured with the 0,000.00 Home Exemption. our children are all Adults, even though they live with us, & we support them financially the court does not reconize my college children as our dependents under the law and because 2 of them file for thier own tax-return for years now so I only have one adult dependent age 18 who is still a full-time student in High School. another thing the lawyer said 2 us when after we signed the forms for ch 13, last week friday. that we qualify for a 100% Pay Back Plan. not reduced like they do for Consolidation, & not even once did the lawyer mention anything about consolidation so I am really comfused, I even asked an attorney at the Pro-Bono work shop @the Santa Ana Bankruptcy Court House 2 weeks ago & I asked if its safe to convert my case to a ch 13 to keep my property & personal property safe they said yes, & that I would have to pay what I could only afford a month from my husbands income for a 5 year plan"so I thought ok, this is good" But, when I saw my lawyer last week 2 sign 4 the convertion to a CH 13, she said my minimum payment would be around ,000.00 a month 2 pay back my creditors & that’s the lowest payment the court would offer according to our attorney 2 start with & it will go higher in a couple of months "We can’t afford this" what should we do? this attorney is confusing us, my English is fluent but, the legal terminology is very confusing" if you have been through something like this before (or) if you know someone that had gone thru this in CA we would really appreciate any feedback you may offer, I tried 2 call my attorney again & she does not return calls I am scared for me & my family. Thanks 4 listening hope 2 hear from someone that would have knowledge to give us feedback that is true no matter how bad it ism we want to know what to expect & what we should do.

Tell me about bankruptcy laws? What changed with the changes?

I You will need to read all this to see what was done to me. I am female. Christian, fundamentalist. a
ppear very white. Hetero. It is relative. I have it, but it is relative to my problems. I have health problems,
but was able to work. I have always had to work
at being healthy. Have to keep my weight down.
I am talking of me. I do not want to be told how others are, I am me. I need money for diet, health care.
I have none.
Going to the state for help, ends up in my being
trashed. Always.I have suffered grave injuries at the hands of states discrimination and abuse.
I must take medication at times due to the abuse of authorities and discrimination. I have no mental illness that is inborn. I have symp;toms of ptst, due to abuse not by my parents.

never filed bankruptcy before, never contemplated it ever seriously. Know nothing, knew nothing.
I really did save 10,000 cash when I was younger,
no dependents, and pay down on my auto and house, bought new furniture. Had hardly any bills and perfect credit. I then made some more bills, manageable because I had a good paying job. After spending a lot of my savings on the dps and finding I was ripped off, I obtained more credit No problem. I am making good money in a career highly employable. Always have a job. I did then get some cash a couple of times from a creditor. I am working full time. I asked creditors to STOP sending me blank checks, and offers for more credit , I asked this more than once. I run into serious
job discrimination. Harassment, slander. I left my long term employer after her asking me to sign lies, saying I did things I did not do. Rec. a major attitude adjustment. Then I lose my three wks vac, all raises,
my two weeks sick leave. Cannot get work any where locally. I went to the city to work, told I had the job, told I was doing great, old emp. appears, they even give me a ticket, singled out. My auto crashed into, have to
rent an auto. Harassed greatly because I go get my grandson, and we have some fun together while I am off. I used credit. I am getting a great new job which
pays twice as much as the old.Go work there, in a rented car. Do great. Great. Then I am told because I do not want to work with someone, I can not transfer to another dept. I can go work in their ltc. I refuse. Take another job. Blah. I ended up deciding to move out of state, sell my home. They ran my ad in paper so that nothing sold. Had to give most of my things away, even furn. I bought new. Paid cash for my furniture, not
credit cards. My dps were cash, not credit cards.
I have been living on credit. Barely made anything on my home. I called here, talked to nurses on the floor
and they said come on. No problem. More than one.
I have disposed of my pets, all but what I could mail,
and bring in the car. Happy to relocate be near my only dtr. Happy to get the rest of my degree, workin a hospital. Get here. I am losing wt. Gained some due
to stress. Have quit smoking. Have problem sleeping off and on. I am happy. Going to gym, looking for church, actually started going to one Different denomination. Cannot go to the old one. Had my name removed from their church. Want a change.
On unemployment. Kept my bills pd up for four months.
Cannot get work any where. I took a review online
before moving here, although it was not required. I took CEUs. I went to seminars. I studied. I was up todate any way. The job I had before was not assisted living. We handled about 30 pts one nurse, doing dressings, IVs, pics, etc., I did that for years, emergencies. The whole bit but for gunshot wounds, or fresh car wrecks. I cannot get work in nursing any where. Nothing, not in clinics nothing. Even worse,
I cannot get any other kind of work. I take ACLS
Pals, at great expense. I take testing for college hours
My brain is working. The ACLS , Pals was like a good
BLS except I got to do the airway thingie, put one in.
We covered more meds. Open book. I did not use
my book for all that. This was expensive, credit.
I had to buy some tires. blah blah. Stringing me along, just around the corner, job. Good pay. No work.
Finally, my money is gone. Credit gone. Creditors
know. they know I am not working. Do not terminate
my credit. I cannot get work. I cannot pay my bills.
I went to consumer credit.
Said a lost cause. My health starts slipping. I did not start smoking. I cannot carry weight. It kills me, and I do not get crabby when I eat right. I began going to gym here. Paid a membership. Harassed at the gym, told to get lost more or less. I was not hurting myself.
I look about 15 yrs younger without this wt. I function very well. Devastated. I have given up my home,
spent all that money, now my health is slipping.
Told I do not have HIV. Then to show I am serious about working, I take the only two jobs I am offered.
Nothing like nursing in any way. Hurt me really bad, as if designed to inflict pain, injury. Have to qu
There is a a lot more of this question I asked posted under my name in the
section personal finance, this jeliminated a lot of details. What was done to me was criminal discrimination and harassment. Criminal. I have been injured mentally, and physically, and they do not intend for me to recover. I am not the criminal, I am the victim.
They would let me do nothing to try to regain my health, or help myself. Nor could I get a job in a hospital. Told to file bankruptcyh, chapter seven, lost cause. Denied the right. Told there is one bank ruptcy attorney here. Insulting my morals, character, intellect. Insulting my education, family, everything.
Threatening my children. Vile place. i have no where to go. Burned all bridges. Want to be near my kids.
My only daughter and her hb and five kids. Intended to stay here many many years if not my life. Promised I would
be able to get work by nursesw on the floor. I had the credentials, work history, education and a lot of valid experience.
I know my grammar, spelling, etc.
I simply am not going to correct this, why bother. It is truly a lost cause. I have
simply been written off for no reason except vile prejudice, lies, and fraud
committed against me. I did not deserve this. No one does. I did nothing at all to deserve this. I am truly not able to work . If I regained my health, I am too old now to do anything. I am devastated and I cannot pull out of this malicious sadistic thing they did to me. Live in this subsidized, not state, apt. It is horrible.
Exercise toward me in cruelty and avarice.

I have no no health care. I am not going to proof read
or edit this.

I am sick to death of someone dragging up lies

grossly distorted, exaggerated, calling me things which are lies, and harassing and degrading me over things which never happened in the first place. I have
been battered four times by strangers due to people
lying on me.

That cut off the important part. I was denied work of any kind except two jobs which just about killed me phhysically.l My bills have increased. Emergency surgery. Rupturing appendix. I am screwed. Bank ruptcy recommended.

This has a lot of racial overtones. They will not let me know my genetic heritage. I need to know for my healths sake. I look extremly white. I am not as white as I look. Threatened over this.

Debt settlement is no solution. I have rent. which a hunk. My electricity bill just doubled last month. Rent and electric is a hunk of my check, medical is a big hunk, My rent just went up, and will go up again. Any increase in income increases rent. I am paying over a third, sometimes half of my income for medical. I still do not get to see a doctor every time I need to do so. i just received myh SS check. I have paid my bills and I have 3 left for car gas,
for groceries for a month. I have not bought gro. I bought some extra stuff
for something unexpected that came up.
that 173 is for Christmas dinner, groceries, evrything, soap, etc.
This is merciless, cruel, sick. It really is an attempt to make things so hard on me I will die, kill myself, or leave. I am not suicidal. I have no where to go.
What is left. Bankruptcy is the only solution. They will not let me. There is something more involved here.
I notice that Raul has no return email. What an unusual name, same as the
merciless attorney.
I do not owe 100.000. I may owe now about 50,000 /60. I had about thirty or fourty thou on there for the emergency surgery. They wrote some off. I have paid some off.Much of that is finance
charges. Much of it was medical, much of it was trying to get work, and expense of education trying to get work. As I said my creditors kept extneding credit even when they knew I was off. I had such good work credentials. Had
I not htought i had work security I would never have made any bills.
I am not a sneak or theif. My kids have absolutely no part in my problems. I am the victim here, not the perp. I have absolutely no reason, none, to be defensive or afraid because I am totally absolutely not guilty of any scheming or plotting or collusions to do anything dishonest. Nothing. I came on top of the world thinking this place was not prejudiced. Ha. I came thinking I would be treated as a human being. New life.
Chance to have some happiness which I have not had since 1985. Delusion.
Lied to. Victimized all over again. No.
I do not like being a victim, but there is no word for it. I do not like some one
in authority here trying to make it look like I have had "special" privileges.That is a blatant blatant horrible lie. Special abuse and discrimination is what I have had. This place is vilely prejudiced.
The means test said It was a lost cause. i had so much debt. I cannot get an attorney. I am told the one I allegedly offended is the only one. I was 58 when I came here. They way I have been done means work is now out. I will be fortunate indeed if I do not die from this.
I wouldhave had my BSN by age 60, and then my MSN by 62. Of course all this is out. It was all planned, my educaiton, and I could have done it.
I am a hard worker, and I was dedicated to what I was going to do.
I would have then been able to work less hours making more money and work into my seventies and never have to go through this degrading loss of dignity, resources, loss of education. It is as if I stepped into a hornets nest of hatred poverty and personal grudges against me. It is not fair. It has been devastating. Now there is nothoing ahead but stark years of poverty. I am not close to my relatives, there is no going back or forward. Pure viciousness. Nothing mor eor less.
Looks so unprejudiced to visit
People in health care work longer than others. Lillian Carter was waorking in the peace corp into her seventies.
I was not going into the peace corp.
I also was not going to be a missionary.
Everything wa splanned. feasable, doable. I did not count on someones hating me enough to sabotage everyting. Not my kids doing it. I do not want to hurt them.Thought i was a person in my own right.
My children did not do this to me.
They are innocent of this. They are also
not responsible for me. This was preplanned sadistic maliciousness, and I am not paranoid. Tnhey did not mean for me to survive this. This discrimination, hate crimes against me, has gone on for a long long time.
I can spell, type, use good grammar, punctuation, etc. Why bother. What is the use. It is all pointless. Don’t holler
depression, etc.

Question regarding filing bankruptcy?

I know my best option is to talk to an attorney, but I’d like to get some pre-attorney advice on here before hand.

The big question is, should I file for bankruptcy? I am only in my early 20’s, and I made some mistakes when I was in my teens. Without getting in to the story, what I will say is that, all of my credit cards were charged off, and sent to third party collection agencies. I owe about ,000 all together.

I was told that a charge off looks horrible on your credit account, and the only way to recover from a charge off is to wait the seven years for it to wash off your report. How do seven charge offs look compared to a bankruptcy? I am still struggling to pay them off, and my monthly income is sufficient to live off of and pay things such as rent, food, utilities, and for my dependents. There is legitimately no money left over to even think about negotiating the money. I know I owe it, and I’m not denying that, but I’m trying to figure out my options from here.

What are the benefits from filing for bankruptcy VS waiting it out and paying them off later down the road?
