I want to stop the collection calls but I am literally too broke to pay for the fee for a bankruptcy what can I do?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
No law says you must have a lawyer represent you in a bankruptcyalthough generally it is a very good idea. The filing fee which the Court charges for filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is $306.00 (bring cash or a bank check or money order, not a personal check). The papers which must be filed are available in lots of places. So while doing without a lawyer is definitely second-best, you may well be able to manage a bankruptcy filing. Depending on where you live, you might find either a Neighborhood law firm or other public-interest entity which would represent you at low or no cost.

Can I file for bankruptcy on a car that was crashed with no insurance?

Max L Rosenberg
Answered by attorney Max L Rosenberg
Bankruptcy lawyer at Rosenberg Hite, LLC
In the State of Connecticut, a firm known as Rosenberg & Press, actually made case law regarding this very issue. Yes it is legal for you to file bankruptcy. In the case that my partner and I worked on, the bank brought an adversary proceeding in bankruptcy court under 11 USC 523(a)(6) in an attempt to survive the bankruptcy. They attempted to claim that getting into a car accident without insurance was a willful and malicious tort. (Soucy v. Wyscoki, 139 Conn. 622 (1953). Of course this is absurd, because who willfully gets into an accident?! The deciding case is Kawaahau v. Geiger, 523 U.S. 57, 118 S. Ct. 974, 140 L.Ed.2d 90 (1998) which held that both the act and the injury allegedly inflicted by Defendant upon a Plaintiff must be intentional to be considered willful. This is the standard the majority of bankruptcy courts have adopted. In this case your deficiency on the car is therefore dischargeable in bankruptcy. My case was GMAC v. Jackson in case you wish to know more on this matter.

Can debt collectors still try to garnish wages if I told them I filed for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Spencer Thomas Hale (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at San Tan Family Law
If the creditor is pursuing a garnishment after you actually file bankruptcy then you can sue them. If you are just preparing to file, the creditor can pursue any legal method to collect until such time as you actually file.
