Can you restart a frozen pension after bankruptcy is discharged or does it become obsolete?
I don't really understand your term "frozen pension." Was it not exempt from the bankruptcy proceedings? Or was it held until a ruling was made and then released when the bankruptcy was discharged?
Is it better to buy a car with a horrible credit history or wait until a bankruptcy is discharged?
Wait until the bankruptcy is discharged. Dear Lord, yes, wait until the debt is discharged! Otherwise you will get stuck with horrendous interest rates which, even if you can afford the resulting inflated monthly payments, will take forever to build any positive equity in the vehicle. And remember that a discharged debt is not the same as a charged-off debt...you will still owe a charged-off debt.
What is active bankruptcy?
Active bankruptcy means an individual or business has filed paperwork for bankruptcy and the case is ongoing. This takes quite some time in many cases and the case can be active for awhile.
Can you get married if bankruptcy is not discharged?
yes you can but DO NOT SHARE CREDIT WITH THAT PERSON UNTIL THE BANKRUPTCY IS LEAST 4 YEARS OLD. IT WILL ATTACH TO YOU IF YOU GO JOINT INTO A CREDIT CARD OR LOAN. IT BRINGS YOUR RATING DOWN.
Can the bankruptcy court take your tax refund for 2004 if bankruptcy was filed in Dec 2004 if this was not discussed at the Creditors Meeting?
I think it depends on when your debts are discharged. If they were already discharged, it was a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, and it wasn't discussed at the creditors meeting, then the refund is yours. Besides, imagine if you filed on April 15th. You might not get your refund until later June or almost July, and that's months from when your debts were discharged. I'm pretty sure it's yours.
A bankruptcy can not be wiped off your credit report until after 10 years but if the accounts on your credit report which were discharged in the bankruptcy can these be taken off?
The debts which were wiped out in bankruptcy still stay on your credit report, but they should be listed as "Discharged in bankruptcy." They will still stay on your credit for 7 years (they don't get extended to 10 years like the Chapter 7 just because they were discharged in bankruptcy). Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
Can a creditor put a hold on your savings account after you claim bankruptcy?
When you file for bankruptcy, all your assets are revealed to the trustee and basically frozen. No, a creditor probably won't put a hold on your savings account after you file but they can until your bankruptcy is discharged. Usually a letter from your attorney saying you have filed bankruptcy will stop this action.
If your wages were garnished and your employer is holding the money in an account how do you get the money released to you after bankruptcy has been awarded?
The back wages will not be released to the employee until the bankruptcy is discharged and the employer is notified by the court that the arrearages have been exempted from seizure.
Can you put an eviction in a bankruptcy?
No. Bankruptcy doesn't erase anything from your credit. In fact, it adds a very, very, bad thing to it.
Are utilities in chapter 7 bankruptcy dischargeable debt?
No type of bankruptcy, whether chapter 7, 11, or 13 discharges a civil or criminal judgment against you. Those are considered non-dischargeable debts and will remain with you until you pay them. Be sure to familiarize yourself with what will and will not be discharged before filing for bankruptcy as you may find that much of your debt is nondischargeable in which case bankruptcy may not be the option for you.
Can my wages be garnished by the student loans while i am in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?
If your bankruptcy is currently active, collection efforts on the student loan will cease until the bankruptcy inactive at which point collection activities will start again.
Can a bankruptcy court keep a debtor from marrying?
You can, but depending on the type of bankruptcy, household expenses and income may be reexamined for the settlement. It would be more simple to wait until the bankruptcy has been discharged. It also might be better for your own finances to carefully evaluate how you will manage finances as a couple.
