unless you opted to keep your car and continue to make payments, they should have repoed it already. in other words, if you still want to keep the car you can only if you keep paying for it.
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?
A utility company may not collect any debt that was discharged in a Chapter 7/13 bankruptcy. The discharge injunction, in most cases, prevents a creditor (including a utility company) from collecting a debt that was discharged. However, the utility company can, and often does, require a security deposit before resuming utility services.
It is possible that a portion of the loans would be discharged in bankruptcy, perhaps all, but that is difficult to assess without all pertinent information. However new bankruptcy reform will become law as of Oct. 17, 2005, which will not allow any student loans to be discharged, with the exception of a valid "undue hardship" defense.
Depends on if the loan is actually secured by a Deed of trust (which has become much more popular) or by an actual mortgage.
This really depends on whether the judgment is a dischargeable debt in bankruptcy. There are some debts that you cannot eliminate in bankruptcy and they will continue to exist after the bankruptcy. Generally judgments from credit cards, medical bills or personal loans can be discharged but they can become non dischargeable if the creditor claims fraud or misrepresentation within the bankruptcy.
No. But, the vehicle will become a repossession if payments are not made.
It's my understanding that when you sign a reaffirmation agreement, you then become liable once again for the loan. If the home was included in the bankruptcy, but no reaffirmation agreement was signed, you can "walk away" from the home at any time after the discharge and you're not liable. I've been told that the mortgage company will report it as a foreclosure though.
You become the only person responsible for the debt. Your friend's obligation to pay the judgment ends once your friend gets his or her discharge order from the bankruptcy court.
Work with your bankruptcy attorney to verify which debts are included in your filing. As of the date of your filing, ongoing assessments become due and owing, together with any new special assessments or fines incurred after that date.
Yes, but new bankruptcy reform will become effective on Oct 17, 2005. Some previous filings may or may not be deemed retroactive as to when they can be filed, as the new law will change the time frame to eight years. It will also become very difficult to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if the debtor has any disposable income. IRS guidelines will be used to determine the type of bankruptcy that will be allowed.
Join the military service. (and be discharged)
Yes, but you have to provide a copy of your bankruptcy file.
