How do I get accounts included in bankruptcy removed from my credit report

William Eugene Maddox
Answered by attorney William Eugene Maddox (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William E. Maddox, Jr. LLC, Attorney at Law
Filing bankrutpcy does not remove creditors from you credit report.  If you did not reaffirm the debts, they should report as "included in bankrutpcy' and have a $0 balance.  If they do not reflect this way, you should dispute them with each credit bureau online.

Do I have to include our rent and other bills if they are in his name or the bill like my car insurance in my name if he pays for it?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
First things first: why do you need to file at all. If you have no earnings, and no non-exempt property, then your creditors can not get anything from you, at least for the present. If you want to 'clear the decks,' so your marriage gives you a more thorough fresh start, you may want to file. Your fiance has just about nothing to do with your bankruptcy, even if he pays some bills. Just be sure to fill out the forms as accurately as you possibly can, recognizing that some things (like budgets) can at best only be good faith estimates. Good Luck.

Is the automatic stay in our bankruptcy case still valid? How?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
The Automatic Stay is what is imposed by 11 USC sec. 362. It appears that the IRS moved the Court for relief from stay, and you or our lawyer did not contest it. If you have a lawyer and he did not discuss this with you once the motion was filed, he is not doing his job-majorly. If you did not read your mail, you were disserving yourself. Find an experienced bankruptcy lawyer right away. It is possible that he or she can develop some means of blunting the effect of this Order. It is also quite possible that you have received a copy of the Motion for Relief from Stay, together with a proposed Order. Go back and read the papers very carefully. There is probably a final date for objecting and requesting a hearing. This is the time either to get a legal education or a lawyer. Good Luck.
