WHO is still taking money from your check? and, for WHAT purpose is the money being garnished? If it is for IRS liens, child support, or some other court ordered payment, those are not affected by bankruptcy filings.
# I just converted. Once you convert and the papers are filed they will close your chpt. 13 and if there is any money left in that account they will send you a check. My employer kept taking money out of my check until they received a letter from the trustee telling them not to. They paid me back the 3 weeks difference. Hope this helps.
It depends on the chapter they filed and the financial state of the company, most likey not, that is why the filed for bankruptcy, they have no funds.
No
Make sure that it was a chapter 11 and not a chapter 7 or a chapter 13. Many times there are no trustees in a chapter 11 and chapter 11 is almost always a larger business bankruptcy.
Should money from an inheritance be turned over in a chapter 13 case? the case was filed at least 12 months before the inheritance
Unless you claimed the proceeds as exempt when you filed, the trustee gets the money.
Yes, just as they can take money from a tax return during the year you filed for bankruptcy.
No, this is a luxury item and the trustee will feel like the money is better spent paying off other dept. I was unable to keep two atv's when I filed chapter 13.
If you were part of a class action lawsuit when you filed the chapter 7, it should have been disclosed in Schedule B, Par. 21 and the Statement of Financial Affairs, Par. 4. The trustee should have abandoned his/her claim or it should have been exempted as to any likely amount. Check with the lawyer who filed your bankruptcy or, if s/he is not available, another bankruptcy lawyer in the area.
You should file a claim in his/her Chapter 13 case; you may or may not get your money back. If you don't file a claim, you're out of luck; he/she is protected by the automatic stay while in Chapter 13, and by the discharge afterwards. (If you think it's fraud, consult an attorney.)
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.
Though laws vary state to state, generally the only way to recoup money from a person or business that has filed for bankruptcy is to sue them civilly. In the lawsuit, you would be considered one of their creditors to whom they still own money.
