Do creditors have the right to freeze a bank account that is in two names?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Yes because the money belongs to both and since either co-owner can withdraw it then the creditor of one of the co-owners can do the same. It is not freezing it but having the money paid by the bank to the Sheriff who will send it to the judgment creditor. That is called a "levy" technically.

Do I need to attend the meeting of creditors?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
Yes, it is mandatory that you attend that meeting. If you don't show up, your bankruptcy will be dismissed and you will have to start over again. If you can't make it because of an emergency or medical reason, you can file a motion to reset the hearing. In very rare circumstances the Trustee will allow you to reset the hearing for a later date, but you must communicate with them right away.

Can the wife wipe out this HOA debt and settle the case with a BK filing?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Loren Paul Zahn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Zahn Law Office
If the HOA has a lien, then a chapter 7 filing cannot remove the obligation. If only one person files bankruptcy, it only prevents the HOA from collecting from that person. The other spouse is still obligated to pay the debt.
