Have to, NO. You can just be like any other creditor, albeit payroll claims have a high standing.

However, the Court almost always acts quickly and allows the Company to pay payroll due. Until the court allows it, they CAN NOT though. It isn't an option...they can't pay any debt incurred from before the filing without curt/creditor approval. Even checking accounts are frozen.

If an executor of a will waits six months after a bankruptcy to give the bankrupt his inheritance is it safe from the trustee?

Maybe. It depends upon the type of bankruptcy that was filed (state or federal) and the time the bankruptcy petitioner actually was awarded the inheritance, not accepted it. A bankruptcy case is officially finished when it is closed, not discharged.

Can you get a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy?

I am trying to figure this out myself as I have recently filed bankruptcy and both my husband and I are students. There is a portion of the bankruptcy code that makes it illegal for government agencies to refuse student loans to those who have filed bankruptcy. So, as far as getting Title IV funding, such as government backed loans, you should still be able to get them. Title IV loans are not granted based on credit worthiness and therefore should be given to those who have filed banlruptcy, as long as there are no other eligibility issues, such as a student loan in default, drug conviction, etc. If you want to get a loan from a private lender, then they are under NO obligation to give you a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy or have other credit problems. For example, the Plus! loans that are available to parents are based on creditworthiness, so a bankruptcy would affect your ability to get this type of loan. As far as my student loan after bankruptcy, I did have to fill out additional paperwork and am still awating the results. I will post again after I find out what happens.


What can be done if bankruptcy was not taken from your paycheck and now you are behind on payments?

In California would the debtor who just filed bankruptcy be arrested for concealing the car on which he stopped making payments?

I don't know about California, but if you filed bankruptcy, you do have to answer to a Judge as to your actions, the non-payment, and/or concealment. The loan was secured by the car so if the Judge sees that the car is worth what is owed--you either reafirm and make payments or you give the car back.


You just filed chapter 7 bankruptcy you told them you did not want to keep your car so after you give it back will you be responsible for the remaining balance if it doesnt sell for how much you owe o?

If it was a part of the bankruptcy process, no, you aren't responsible. But it has to be specifically spelled out in the petition.


What protection does Chapter 11 Bankruptcy offer?

Chapter 11 is the bankruptcy code issued to a business who files for bankruptcy. This type of bankruptcy protects a business and will allow it to get running again. If a business fails and applies for chapter 7, they must sell everything and give the proceeds to creditors. A person on chapter 11 does not have to do this.
