Can a HELOC be discharged with chapter 7 bankruptcy?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
Right now the law is in a state of flux regarding HELOCs which are not secured at all. Depending on the outcome of a case currently pending in the Eleventh Circuit Court of Appeals, you might want to consider a Chapter 13 case which would strip the HELOC from the property. This is tricky and a highly experienced bankruptcy attorney should be able to help.

Generally, what a trustee will take, or request payment for, has no relation to your employment, except to determine your ability to follow through on a buy-back.  The trustee has a responsibility to the creditors to collect whatever he/she can for the benefit of the creditors.   Your attorney has very limited control or influence, unless the trustee is not following the rules, or exceeding his/her authority.  Of course, your attorney should maximize your allowable exemption.  However, the information provided is insufficient to make any determination as to the merits of your concerns. If you are not happy with your attorney, then you can seek a second opinion, or terminate his representation.

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Christian F. Paul
Most bankruptcy attorneys quote a price for their services and take payment in advance, so as not to be one of the client's creditors.? Also, in California the fee agreement must be in writing.? I can't tell from your question whether you have a written fee agreement or whether $1,000 is what your attorneys agreed to take for your case.? But if so, then they are obligated to do the work for you now.? If not, not. I hope this helps.
