Best Answer

depends on the length of time. was the injury cas before the filing or after.sometimes it takes a long time to get the money. if the case was before you filed then you have to pay the lawyer. the two also have different situations.if he represents you in a case due to his services, he gets the money. the chapter 7 bankruptcy has to do with outstanding bills occured. they are two different matters. but they can garnish any wages or income. so the lawyer will get his cut first. i worked for lawyers and the check goes there first.so there is no way around them.

No. What will happen is all the defaulted accounts listed in the bankruptcy will be marked as such.."included in bankruptcy". The credit history, late payments, judgments, etc. will remain the same. In addition to the scenario in the above answer: The bankruptcy filing itself will be listed in the "public records" portion of your credit report. The disposition needs to be listed also (the discharge). The "bad marks" (i.e., the accounts) will show on your credit for 7 years.

Can you do a loan modification if you are in chapter 13?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy puts the entire debt collection process on hold to give the filers time to work out a court-approved repayment plan for a portion of their debts. Thus, because the process is on hold, a loan modification can not be enacted while a mortgage is currently under the supervision of the Chapter 13 trustee. However, it is possible to negotiate a modification of a loan with the mortgage lender during the bankruptcy. But it will be necessary to have the bankruptcy case voluntarily dismissed before the modification can be finalized and put into effect. Banks may not be willing to negotiate with the borrowers under the circumstances of a Chapter 13, though.
