If you are in bankruptcy in Texas and due a refund of more than $2000, is there a way to get your $$ back?

First, this is a question for legal counsel in the jurisdiction.  Bankruptcy law is a mix of local and national laws.  That said, the money isn't yours once you go into bankruptcy, it is the trustee's money now.  Everything due to you isn't yours anymore.  Whether you can gain access to the funds depends totally on the particulars of your case.  Think of it as no different than if you had $2000 in a checking account.

Depends on your state and how much equity you have in the house-- some companies do Bankruptcy buy-outs-- chances are though-- if you filed bankruptcy, then you don't have the equity to do the refi-- or you would have used the $$$ to pull yourself out of debt.  Chances are you will need to wait a little while

Just exactly how did you come into this large sum of money?  If it is something that was yours prior to the bankruptcy and you didn't disclose it to the court, then you have committed bankruptcy fraud.

Perhaps you mean the Billback cost recovery system described in the source link.  Good luck.

The best advice I have for you is to call your attorney!!!  However, it is possible to change your plan payments, especially if there have been changes in your income or expenses (like higher utility and gas prices) The attorney who filed for you should be able to assist you with this.  And they can usually just put their additional fee for changing things back into the plan.  \nOr, you could do what I did.  I asked for a three month waiver of payments to get me back on my feel when gas prices were really bad.  I went through my attorney to do this, but have heard of people going directly through the trustee as well.  Contact your attorney or the trustee on how to go about doing this.  You will have to extend your plan for how many months you asked for the waiver though.  But that extra money can really help you get caught up. \nWith the new bankruptcy laws, if you can afford to pay at least 100 dollars a month in payments, then the courts will not let you file Chapter 7.  Therefore, you may not be able to convert your Chapter 13 to Chapter 7.  So, your best bet would be to ask for the restructuring of your payments or for the waiver.\nIf you try to restucture you payment plan, make sure you list everything you spend money on in your budget.  Include at least 200-300 a month in food for a single person.  Also include all expenses for over the counter medications, pet supplies and pet doctor expenses (if you own a pet), estimated amount you will spend on car upkeep and repair, estimated amount on gas for your car, entertainment, cable, cell phone, internet fees, house repairs, clothing and ect.  Always estimate to the highest, but don't out and out lie because that would be a crime.  I took what each of these things would cost me in a year and divided it by 12 for my monthly amount.  My hubby and I make around 55,000 a year and only have to pay around 300 bucks a month into our plan!!!

Yes! You can try waiting, but if they find the error, you will have to repay them. If they really don't like you, they could claim you commited fraud to get the money.

Call the Texas Dept of Labor. They are usually quite helpful. But unless you got the two weeks severance in writing, you are probably hosed.

Ask them, they may give you a partial refund.  Look at the fine print in your contract as there is often a pro-rata refund for cancellations.

Call your bank and file a Regulation E claim as soon as possible.\n\nA Reg E claim protects you and your card.  The bank will get your money back in a few days.

You should contact the issuer (whether it's the result of a federal refund or a state refund) to find out whether they can issue a new check.

Do you mean refund?  Please explain.

You can sue, but, if you can prove your case, the most you can recover is $5000 because there is a specific law that limits the amount which you can recover if you do not have something in writing.\nIt is called the Statute of Frauds.

Not really - but you might be able to convince the banks to accept an immediate pay-back of 30% instead of a possible complete loss at bankruptcy.

You should check out these companys with the better Business Bureau. before sending them any money. You could also report the company to your local law inforcement agency. It won't get you back your money. but it might help someone else.

What ever you borrowed isn't worth the pain of having to call you to get it back....\n\nTry borrowing something more expensive next time...

I don't think you can get it back.  The fine print in your application probably stated that it was a non-refundable application fee.

I filed for bankruptcy 4 years ago. I made payments to my lawyer. I couldn't really afford one payment. Some of them will offer a payment plan.check into it
