Sure...any creditor can protest both the filing, or the handling of their claim (especially in comparison to other claiments) - and they frequently do. If their investigation shows that you didn't fully disclose all assets, or made transactions in anticipation of filing BK...or any number of other things that would cause them to take more of a loss...and can prove it to the court....you're case would likely be dismissed...and if the actions were intentional...amy face criminal charges by the court.

No, lawsuits do not prevent a person from filing bankruptcy. The lawsuit will be stopped when the BK is filed and the debt or judgment can possibly be included in the filing. It is at the discretion of the trustee as to whether a BK or any portion of it is allowable according to bankruptcy law. The BK petitioner has the option of appealing any trustee ruling with which they disagree.

Yes, bankruptcy will halt any lawsuit action. If the lawsuit will be included and discharged in the bankruptcy is dependent upon the ruling of the court.

Should one file for bankruptcy or settle with credit card company?

I have been considering claiming bankruptcy for quite some time now. I have no money and am a student. I was injured on the job a few years back and am going to be receiving a settlement offer from the worker's compensation company soon. The settlement would pay half of my credit card debt. Should I try to settle with the credit card company for less than I owe? Or should I still claim bankruptcy like I was planning originally? If I claim bankruptcy, will the money I get from the settlement be up for grabs? If so, can a bankruptcy lawyer negotiate a settle-for-less deal? Help!
