What is reaffirmation of property with bankruptcy?

William H Nebeker
Answered by attorney William H Nebeker (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Havens Law, LLC
In bankruptcy, a reaffirmation is an agreement between you and a creditor. The agreement reaffirms a debt that would otherwise be discharged in bankruptcy and noncollectable. The agreement makes you legally responsible for the debt that has been discharged. These agreements must be approved by the court and you must show that you will have the means to pay.

What should I do if my car was repossessed? How?

I would be checking into whether you are vulnerable if this creditor sues you and obtains a court judgment. If you have no job, own no real estate, and your other belongings are below what is protected by state laws called exemptions, the creditor may be unable to force you to pay. This is known as being judgment proof.

Could my husband’s creditors pursue me after filing bankruptcy after a divorce?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
It's not clear if you have filed a joint case with your husband or not (since in ch. 13 cases a co-obligor is protected by the stay as well as the main debtor). If you are in a joint case (which is generally the best way to do it) then the discharge will protect both of you. If you are not a joint filer with him, and you live in a marital property or community property state, it is hard for creditors to try to collect from you, but not impossible. However most creditors are not sufficiently motivated to try, especially if you invoke the protections of sections 524 and 541 of the Bankruptcy Code. If you do not live in a marital property state, creditors could pursue you if you do not get your own bankruptcy discharge. Best bet: consult an experienced bankruptcy lawyer in your jurisdiction. It may be that you or your husband or both of you already have a lawyer. If so, ask him or her your question in detail. If you do not have a lawyer, it's usually worth it to retain one.
