What would happen if a cashiers check went default?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney James T Weiner (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at James T. Weiner, P.C.
I have never heard of this "They've given me a cashiers check for the correct amount but on the back of the check the seller must make sure the title to the RV gets to their bank that they got the loan with within 10 days"Cashiers checks by their very nature should not have stipulations on payments like that so its not a cashier check... Call the bank BEFORE you sign the title and ensure it is a validly issued bank check.. something does NOT sound right about this transaction it may be a scam.

Will I be able to use credit after I file for bankruptcy? How?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Yes eventually although it's often a good idea for the a couple of years post bankruptcy to avoid debt and adjust lifestyle to the means. Credit card and vehicle financing solicitations that typically come in the mail just after you file tend to have expensive terms and it may be best to avoid them. You don't want to get a discharge and rack up a lot of debt again. Generally speaking, it's possible to obtain a mortgage 3 years post BK. This assumes the borrower is in a position to afford the payments on the mortgage they are attempting to obtain. I advise my clients not to rush out and get new debt, instead focusing on increasing income and managing with what you have. If the current situation is a result of poor financial management then now is a good time to budget and address spending habits. There is a ton of information out there on living well for less, minimalism, and living well with bad credit - unfortunately is a reality for people with non dischargeable debt, like student loans. If the current situation is a result of unfortunate circumstances beyond your control, then give yourself some time to stabilize the situation, live frugally, save money, before carefully deciding to borrow. Don't worry, the "banksters" will come calling. The profit margins are too high for them to shun away business. But maybe you decide that you don't want to play that game anymore.

Will I be arrested for having a complaint from a credit card company?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey Z. Dworin (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Jeffrey Z. Dworin
If it's a complaint, it is a purely civil matter and the sheriff is merely serving a summons. In other words, you are being sued, not charged criminally.
