Bankruptcy and Tax refunds before discharge date?

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.

Can I return a car that is "closed" on my credit report after my bankruptcy?

Well, I had to file for bankruptcy because i was a victim of credit fraud. I had a clunker. My lawyer told me to get a better car before I file, even if i have to pay for high apr. Basically i’ll be screwed if my old car breaks down during the bankruptcy process- theres no way i’ll be able to get a new one. She said that as long as I keep paying for the newer car, it won’t be taken away.

I’ve been paying for the car flawlessly for a 1 1/2 yrs now. My wife and I check out a dealer to see if we can get her a car. The checks my credit and tells me the there is no record of my new car on my credit report. I’m shocked because I’ve been paying all this time and it has not been helping my credit. I check my credit report online and it says that the account has been closed during my bankruptcy. I asked my wife if we’ve been getting any bills from toyota, and she says we don’t get any bills anymore we just maintain payments every month like what my lawyer said.

Ok, a friend of ours said that i should return the car to the dealer and get a cheaper car. Since it is closed on my credit report, it shouldn’t affect my credit if i return it. Pls tell me if this is valid and why.

Thanks!

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy and Car Financing?

I am currently in the process of filing for chapter 7 bankruptcy. I have not yet had the meeting of the creditors. At the same time I am in desparate need of a new car. I spoke with my attorneys office and they told me to apply for financing before filing for bankruptcy. I have read online that the car could be taken away. I am seeking some guidance on how to go about this. I know that once the bankruptcy is filed my credit score will drop so badly that I probably will not be able to get a car loan, however on the other hand I am also afraid that once I file bankruptcy the bank will take away the new car.

Should bankruptcy exist?

Bankruptcy is the root of all injustice. When someone can finance 0,000 for a house, file bankruptcy, and then continue living in the house scott-free, there’s something wrong with our government.

I’m a FIRM believer than bankruptcy shouldn’t exist. I’d rather receive someone’s detached arm in the mail as compensation for unpaid bills than a government issued judgment against that person, or bankruptcy papers. Because both mean the same thing: you get nothing.

Bankruptcy is truly the most gross example of injustice in the United States and people do it multiple times in their lifetime. Nothing good can come from bankruptcy. What are you thoughts?
By the way, the "injustice" I’m referring to is to the people who have loaned that person money. If you are considered an "unsecured loan", it’s about a 99/100 chance you’ll get absolutely nothing. If you are a "secured loan", in which only home mortgages and car loans can be, you will get your money though it will take forever. Finally, the lawyer who performed the bankruptcy gets 100% of his fee. Where’s the justice in that?

Bob Zoo down the street who loaned John Doe 00 to get a new car, and even had John sign a promissary note now gets absolutely nothing due to the bankruptcy, and is out 00, AND John Doe gets to keep his car.

WHERE IS THE JUSTICE?
slimick, there were no incorrect assumptions. I don’t know what state, country or planet you live on, but here in Arkansas that’s the way it works. I’ve done my homework. I know who gets paid, who doesn’t, and why. Unfortunately your response had nothing to do with anything I was talking about. You just wanted to hear yourself talk about medical issues. Great job there in the relevance category. Not.
And you’re right. I don’t care about Enron. I care about the little guy. The little guy who owes people money and files bankruptcy. Money or an arm. It’s that simple. Or I’m gonna take it out of their ass.
At crazyjes… yawn. Too much to read, too ridiculous. Who cares about what companies do, I’m talking about people vs. people. Never seen Goodfellas. Not a collection agency agent. Just a regular ole Joe Blow who’s been screwed too many times by people, whilest people like you sit there and defend the unjust bankruptcy system that lets them get away with it. I certainly hope someone screws you out of money so you can be on the receiving end of bankrupty. It’s such a nice feeling.

Oh, and as for your hypothetical woman with so many kids who had to file bankrupty, well she should have thought about that before she married the first guy she met in high school, and then quit school to have four kids. Yeah. She did it to herself out of stupidity. I want her money too if she owes it to me. It’s like that. Justice for Justice. Money for Money. None of this, "I charge up stuff and not pay it." Totally unjust. The laws should be changed. People should be shot for this.

How do I file bankruptcy in Southern California and what type should I file?

Hi.

I have a very good credit score. I have never made a late payment on anything in my life. However, I am foreseeing disaster and see no way out of it. My debt is about 17K in credit cards and student loans of about 10K so a total of 27K. I am not worried about the student loans, since I am in school and so they are currently "on hold" till I finish and when I am expected to pay them its only like 0 per month for ten years. However my credit cards are getting worse and worse and the only way I can make myself stop relying on them is to wipe them out. Unfortunately I have practically zero income (about 0 per month) and I am in college and live with mom. I am 24 years old. This is pretty sad, I know, but I think I have to file soon. Its a shame because my credit score is about 720. I just leased a new car, which is under my name, but again, family is supporting me. So… I feel that I should just file bankruptcy (chapter 7 is what I am thinking) and just live off what I earn for thew next ten years. I own nothing of value, and am on my mom’s lease, and also want to know if they will take away my car when and if I file.

Please, I know everyone says its a "last resort". I am viewing it as such. So if it comes to this, what is the best way to go about filing and hoe much will it cost me financially and also how long does it take? Will my debts be wiped clean? I heard that student loans don’t go away, which is fine by me. Its the credit cards that are about to crush me. I need real advice, not just empty worthless criticism. So please ONLY ANSWER IF YOU HAVE RELIABLE EDUCATED ADVICE.

Thanks guys. Happy holidays.

Can I file for bankruptcy when a scam left me with the responsibility of paying back money?

January 2005, i purchased a new car.
my grandfather co-signed with me.
later on i could no longer afford this car. i put an ad on the internet (autotrader.com) and got an email from a gentlemen claiming to be an auto-broker. i was so desperate to get rid of this car. i emailed him back and agreed that his client could buy it. i was selling this car online for 11,000. the gentlemen (the scam artist) sent me an email saying that he would send me a check for 19,000, the extra money was for shipping the car to where his client lived. supposedly. the check that was sent to me was counterfeit. the kicker is, i sent him the remainder of the 7-8,000 that was for "shipping" purposes and now the bank is holding me responsible for the money i wired the scammer. i had to give the car back to the bank. i owe the bank 6 grand for the car and another 6 grand for the money that that scammer took from me. can the 6 grand for the scammed $ be discharged in bankruptcy?
(i paid some of this bill)

If I file for chapter 7 bankruptcy can I keep my car?

I’ve read a bit of things about chapter 7, but one thing isn’t clear. Under the new laws, I do qualify for it. I’m in Missouri. It says I can keep the car up to the value of 3k. My car is work 7k. I obviously cannot afford nor would I qualify to get a new car and I have no money (which is why the bankruptcy). I live alone and can’t go without a car. What will happen in this case? I have no other assets other than that.

How long after filling chapter 7 bankruptcy will i need to wait to buy a car?

We just filed chapter 7 bankruptcy and it will be discharged soon. We are in need of a new car, but when we stopped by to talk with the finance manager at a car lot he said we would have to wait 6 months before any of the banks would touch us. Is this true? Has anyone bought a car soon after they were discharged? Thanks for your answers!
