Will we be able to keep our vehicle in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
It depends on the value, payments, what else you own, and other important information that your lawyer will need to give you an opinion of the likelihood of objections to your plan by the trustee and other interested parties. I hope you are considering filing a Chapter 13 without a local experienced lawyer representing you.

What can the creditors of unsecured credit cards do if I am unemployed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David C. Ayer (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at AyerHoffman, LLP
Your unsecured creditors may file suit against you for breach of contract, obtain a judgment, and seek to enforce that judgment. They may place liens on property you own. They may wait to enforce the judgment until you have income again, then seek a garnishment of your wages. Judgments in Massachusetts are valid for 20 years and can be renewed after that period has expired. Check to see if there is a homestead filed for your house which will protect the equity you have in it. If possible, contact your creditors and try to work out a payment plan. If this doesn't work, consider consulting a bankruptcy attorney. You cannot be put in jail for your debts, although it is possible to be arrested by a constable should you fail to show up for a court appearance in a supplementary process action (part of the judgment enforcement process) and it is possible to be held in contempt of court and jailed.

Will going off of disability impact my bankruptcy?

Maureen O'Malley
Answered by attorney Maureen O'Malley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Maureen O'Malley
It should have no impact. Usually bankruptcy refers to the immediate time of filing. If you had a very high-paying job that you knew you'd be returning to it might make a difference. You should check with your lawyer.
