When will the bank come and take your car after your bankruptcy is final?
Usually, you get to keep at least one car in a bankruptcy, and in fact it's rare the bankruptcy will ask you to sell any car, unless it's clearly a luxury vehicle not required for work. So your Mustang is safe but your Rolls Royce might be in danger. If you owe money on the car, you can reaffirm the debt, and thus keep the car and the original payment plan. Alternately, it's up to the creditor -- they can repossess immediately if you don't reaffirm.

How can you preserve public property?
Probably the best way is to treat property that is not yours with decency. You don't have to go out of your way to clean/fix/protect it yourself, people have jobs for that, just don't mess it up yourself.
If everyone had the consideration to be careful and clean up after themselves this would be a better world.
Can an employer terminate an employee out on disability and Lawyers for this situation?
In theory, an employer can not terminate an employee out on disability, assuming you provided sufficient documentation. If you think you've been wrongly terminated, then I'd contact the EEOC. They can provide you with more info and point you in the right direction.
Can your car be repossessed if the finance company accepts payments of less than the amount due?
Bottom line: YES it can. Although many things could factor into this answer, such as, have they given you anything in written form stating the new terms? Have you renegotiated your loan terms? When faced will something or nothing, most creditors are willing to work out something with you but are not bound by anything other than the terms of the contract. Although this point could be argued in a court of law. More input from FAQ Farmers: * If a person is sending or making payments of a lesser amount it doesn't mean the finance co 'accepts' these payments as acceptable. You would always want to discuss the situation with the finance co to see if the payment amount and dates being paid are acceptable. I work for a large finance co and we always try to work with the customer while they are trying to bring their account current. We won't repo a car if the customer is making the payments as discussed/agreed (which is always noted on an account) but if those payments aren't made or are late and we don't hear from the customer, there's a good chance repo is in process. Bottom line... the bank paid that car off for you, and they 'own it' until you pay them back. Work with them and they'll work with you.
How long after bankruptcy can you file chapter 7 and can you file chapter 13 after chapter 7?
You have to wait 2 years, in Tennessee anyway, between filings.
= Ans == Bankruptcy is ALWAYS in a Federal Court and under Federal Laws. (Yes, some Federal Districts use the prevailing rules regarding some things in their area...like what may be personal property compared to real property, but the overall rules are universal). YOUR STATE GENERALLY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. Bankruptcy laws were reformed in 2005 making the time limit between chapter 7 filings 8 years from the time of discharge and the time for filing a chapter 13 after a chapter 7 discharge 4 years.

Can furniture rental company issue arrest warrant?
An arrest warrant cannot be executed except through due process. This means a judge has to sign a warrant if there is probable cause to believe you committed a criminal offense. Non-payment to a furniture rental business is actually a civil matter, not a criminal matter. They can go before a judge and get an order to garnish. They can also repossess the property. They can ruin your credit rating. They cannot issue a warrant for anything. That's done through proper legal channels.
Does a creditor have any options after bankruptcy discharge?
Other than living with the actions of the court, not really. The one big exception could be if you could substantiate some malfeasance or misrepresentation by the debtor to the court. I'm presuming you mean by "discharge" the end or resolution of the BK case. Clearly, the time to explore and act on the options you would have is BEFORE the case is ended.
Why aren't you asking your bankruptcy attorney? It depends on the amount and what the award is for. And the details may depend on what bankruptcy court your 13 is in. You may be able to use the money to prepay your 13 plan and get out of bankruptcy. The money would go to you, not the bankruptcy attorney (unless you owe the attorney money). What claim the trustee would have is the issue.
What is a hold harmless agreement?
Also called an "indemnification", this type of agreement protects someone from being sued because of what a third person does to the victim. For example, before I let you clean the floors of my office, you will have to indemnify me (hold me harmless) if you negligently leave a dangerous condition that injures a visitor. The visitor sues me, I invoke indemnification, you pay all my legal bills and any damages awarded by the court.
Can you repossess a vehicle for nonpayment if it has a lien?
YES, IF-IF-IF you can pay the loan off. The lender will have to be involved in the sale to get the paperwork done.Lenders will NOT release the title until the loan is paid in full. Dont get yourself in a mess trying to do it alone. Find out from the lender what the payoff is and then make sure you have that amount ready to give the lender when you complete the sale. Good Luck
What if creditors already are looking for it/reposession order already out for it? Can this still be done?
Likely the only way to do it is CALL the lender, get the payoff and get that amount to them NOW.They want the money more than the car.....
