Can I keep my home if I'll file for chapter 7?

Barry J. Roy
Answered by attorney Barry J. Roy (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Rabinowitz, Lubetkin & Tully, L.L.C.
Unfortunately, the short answer is it depends.  New York law provides for a homestead exemption that ranges from $75,000 to $150,000 depending on where you live.  So, if your home is worth less than the amount of the homestead exemption, it is unlikely that the Chapter 7 Trustee will sell it for the benefit of your creditors.  Please note that a husband and wife filing jointly in New York may double their homestead exemption.  However, to the extent that your home is worth more than the homestead exemption you are entitled to, you run the risk that the Chapter 7 Trustee appointed in your case may sell the property and utilize the equity for the benefit of your creditors.  The bankruptcy code even allows this to be done if you own the property jointly with a non-debtor.  See 11 U.S.C. Sec. 363(h).  You should really see a bankruptcy attorney for moving ahead with any plan to file Chapter 7 if you own a home with equity.

Am I still obligated to pay for a car even if it was repossessed?

Jennifer Jakob-Barnes
Answered by attorney Jennifer Jakob-Barnes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jakob-Barnes Law Firm, LLC
Yes, you are responsible for the difference. Before they garnish your wages, the creditor has to file a lawsuit against you and receive a judgment. Once the creditor has a judgment, they can file a garnishment against your wages and/or bank account.

Does a confirmed Chapter 13 stop any creditor on the petition from filing a complaint for fraud for the same debt with the Department of Insurance?

Bankruptcy does not prevent a creditor from filing a criminal complaint against a debtor. Bankruptcy only deals with the discharge of civil debt, not criminal offenses. See 11 USC sec 523 for further information about the relationship between bankruptcy and the criminal justice system.
