What can I do if Trustee has taken over case in bankruptcy?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
Chapter 7 Trustees are given wide latitude to settle cases, such as yours. Depending on the issues in the case, you COULD be entitled to exempt a portion of the settlement/lawsuit. Converting to Chapter 13 might give you more free reign in settling the case, but most Chapter 13 Trustees require that you pay all of your creditors in full UNLESS some of the proceeds are exempt. The issues here can be complicated. If you don't have an attorney, consult with someone who has a lot of experience in representing Debtors OR representing Chapter 7 Trustees. If you already have an attorney, consult with her/him to determine what rights you might have to claim a portion of the lawsuit proceeds as exempt or what might be in your best interest.

Can the bank do this out of the blue?

Sally J Elkington
Answered by attorney Sally J Elkington (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Elkington Law
Your bank can ask you anything they want, but you don't have to tell them anything. This could just be a marketing ploy on their part. Or, it could be a scam, not by your bank, but by some other "entity". Call your bank and ask them why they are asking and then decide whether to ignore it or not.
