What else can I help you with?
Do you need a minimum income to qualify for a chapter 13 bankruptcy?
No minimum income amount is required but the debtor must have a regular source of income and qualify under the maximum amount of secured and unsecured debt guidelines.
What is the difference between a secured and unsecured bond when posting a bond to get out of jail?
A secured bond requires collateral to be pledged to cover the bond amount if the defendant fails to appear in court. An unsecured bond does not require collateral, but the defendant may owe the full amount if they do not appear in court as required.
Will you pay more interest on an unsecured personal loan than a secured one?
The amount of interest you pay depends on the institution that you borrow from. You will usually pay more on an unsecured personal loan than a secured one.
In chapter 13 bankruptcy do you have to pay your unsecured creditors 100 percent?
NO. Bankruptcy proceedings are used because you are not capable of paying 100% of your debts (otherwise your bankruptcy claim will be rejected by the court), and unsecured debts have greater chance of a lower amount of directed settlement from the bankruptcy trustee's work than secured debts (or certain excepted unsecured debts). Note that there is an excellent perspective book both about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition (published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias (a bankruptcy attorney). In the public library system for Colorado Springs, I found it at 346.078 E42N (Dewey decimal system).
Why does an unsecured loan have a higher interest rate compared to a secured loan?
An unsecured loan has a higher interest rate compared to a secured loan because it poses a higher risk to the lender. With an unsecured loan, there is no collateral backing the loan, so if the borrower defaults, the lender has no assets to recover the loan amount. This increased risk leads to higher interest rates to compensate for the potential loss.
When a debtor enters bankruptcy a secured creator retains priority to the secured assets unless it files a proof of claim for the full amount owed?
Actually, a secured creditor only retains priority if they file a claim.
What is the statute of limitations for a creditor to collect on an unsecured debt that you have reaffirmed and then defaulted on?
SOL time limits are set by the individual states. However, when the debt was reaffirmed and payments were made the SOL 'clock' was restarted also. Anytime a payment is made, regardless of the amount, the SOL will begin from the date the last payment is made.
What is the interest rate on a secured loan?
The interest rate on a secured loan is the percentage of the loan amount that the borrower must pay back in addition to the principal amount borrowed. This rate is typically lower than that of an unsecured loan because the lender has collateral to secure the loan.
What are secured and collateral accounts?
Secured accounts are secured by a deposit. The bank would then extend a credit line - usually an amount from 100% to 200% of the deposit. For instance a $500 deposits would generally get you a $500-$1000 credit line. You likely will earn interest on your deposit and be considered for an unsecured line after a certain amount of time.
Is there some type of protection against paying a deficiency judgment under chapter 7 bankruptcy law if you filed chapter 7 before the foreclosure in Illinois?
If you reaffirmed the mortgage in the c. 7, which went to discharge and was closed, no, other than possibly filing a c. 13 to arrange to pay the amount due. If the mortgage company received relief from stay while you were in the c. 7, the deficiency was discharged with the other unsecured debts. If you had a bankruptcy lawyer, ask him or her.
If you owe 203000 and the house sells in foreclosure for 175000 what happens to the difference do they come after you should you file bankruptcy on just your house or what should you do?
You NEVER get to file bankruptcy on a thing...YOU file bankruptcy, and everything you owe and everything you own is included. Without BK, the amount you did not pay on the loan you must pay. The deficiency the bank will still want to collect. If you can't pay off the loan on a property, you can't provide title to someone else, so you essentially can't sell it. In BK that excess is then classed an unsecured debt, (originally the loan was a secured debt, secured by the property which it gets first right to the proceeds from) and depending on how many assets you have to pay all your unsecured debts, may end up being relieved by the court.
Does a secured credit card build credit the same was a normal card?
No, you have to deposit money in the account first, after that they give you a credit based on the amount you deposited. But the deposited amount stays in there until they change it to an unsecured card.
