Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

John A Moffa
Answered by attorney John A Moffa (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Moffa & Breuer, PLLC
First, for you and anyone who reads these questions and answers, you must list all of your assets and all of your debts. Period, no exceptions. You may not pick and choose. With that being said, a Chapter 7 Trustee will be appointed in the case and will determine the value of the car, subtract the various claimed exemptions you choose and whether they are legally sufficient, subtract the amount owed on the vehicle and see if there is equity which needs to be liquidated for the benefit of the creditors in the case. So if the vehicle is worth $19,000 and only you are no the title, then the most you could claim as exempt is $6,000, but that number will certainly be less. Subtract the exempt amount from $19k and subtract the amount owed from the amount after subtracting the exemptions and you have the equity. The larger the equity, the more you have to pay the Trustee. The exemption amount will vary on other factors in your case and I cannot determine that without much more information.

What is dismissal of bankruptcy

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
A dismissal of bankruptcy means you are no longer in bankruptcy and did not receive a discharge of debts.  Thus, you still owe the balance remaining to any of your pre-bankruptcy creditors and if you were curing a default on your mortgage, the default is still there and they can now foreclose. Your options now are to either file a Motion for Reconsideration or to Set Aside the Dismissal if you have appropriate facts to do so (which you might), or file a new Chapter 13 case. A lot of times claims are filed which need to be paid in full, so the payment you were originally making might not have been sufficient to cover all the necessary claims.  Without reviewing your entire case file I couldn't tell you what the situation is in your case.  Your attorney should have been monitoring that and taking steps to modify your plan payments if necessary.  But I'm just speculating as to what may have happened. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

What is the name of the form to amend?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Eric Allen Maskell (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Eric A. Maskell
It all depends on the type of creditor. If it is an unsecured creditor you would need to amend Schedule F to list the creditor. If it is a secured debt then you would need to add them to Schedule D and amend that. If they are a priority creditor you would need to add them to Schedule E. Once you add them and amend the schedule you should also file an amended creditor matrix so that when the case is discharged the court will mail them a copy of the discharge order.
