Isn't it chapter 11?  And I think you can, it will just be harder.

I don't believe that they can take this money, but I would ask the attorney that is handling your bankruptcy, he will know the answer to this.

The direct answer to you question is that an attorney can not practice law in a state that he or she is not licensed.  The way they get around that is to refer you to another attorney that is practicing in your state.  \n\nNormally, however, you do not have to consult an attorney to apply for a debt consolidation loan.  Usually the attorney will counsel you about filing for bankruptcy.  If you need help with pay day loans you can ask for help from the attorney general of your state.  Look in government listings of your phone book. \n\nIf you are looking for a debt consolidation loan or advice on debt consolidation, I have included some resources.

Yes, you can file for bankruptcy.\nYou will still have to pay the court judgment and according to the new bankruptcy laws probably all of your other debt but it might stop some interest charges and late payment fees.\n\nYou should consult an attorney obviously I do not know what state you live in and the details of your case.

Chapter 13 bankruptcy, in summary, is a way of keeping some assets that you might not be able to keep under chapter 7, but it also has more stringent requirements on payment of creditors.  You should probably use an attorney to file chapter 13 bankruptcy.  The proof of claim forms are sent by the courts to the creditors that you list.

This is why you should not do your own bankruptcy.  Hire an attorney and let him/her help you.

No, you do not loose assets/or income when you file bankruptcy.   The new bankrupcty laws for Chapter 13 (reoranization of your debts) would make you and your lawyer create a pay-back plan and a court appointment Trustee would administer the pay back plan.    I'm not sure about the new Chapter 7 (the old wiped out all your debt) and you didn't have to sale any of your primary property (by that I mean if you have only one car to get back and forth to work; and want to keep the car, you are allow to; that goes for your home as well.)   Retirement monies and disability/state and not touched by bankruptcy

I guess it depends on what type of bankruptcy you want to do cause they have several like chapter 7. 11 and 13 and some are meant for buiness owners only and can be costly too. it also depends on if you want to eliminate everything and then certian debts can't be eliminated which is best to talk with a attorney the laws are changing all the time.

YES YOU CAN DO IT!!. I work for a bankruptcy attorney. I myself even have gone through bankruptcy back in 2005. You send all three credit report agencies a copy of your discharge along with a copy of your creditor matrix. At that point they will remove those debts from your credit report. They will then send you an updated credit report. It may take a few times to get it all removed. However, your credit report will state that you had filed bankruptcy and it states that way up to 7 years.

I doubt that the bankruptcy trustee would excuse you from attending the Meeting of Creditors that is required under the Bankruptcy Code.  Besides, what is the urgency to file bankruptcy while you are still incarcerate?  You can file after you get out.

The others are correct as the new bk laws have changed. Due to people who abused the bk system. Most likely you will need to file a chapter 13. \n\nIn regards to a Chapter 7, every state has a limit of personal assets you can keep. For example if you own your car out right and is worth 15,000.00 and the the bk statue for that State limit on a vehicle is $20,000.00 it is exempt from the BK.  This would not pertain to you since you not "own" them free and clear. You can exempt loan you have on the cars out of the bk, but if you were to default on the loan the loan company can sue you for the unpaid balance and other fees.  You can include them in the bk and still choose to make the payments. There is always exceptions to every rule. \n\nIn a Chapter 13 assets aren't "auctioned" in the BK but you are making payments per the plan. Any time you default on your BK loan you are risking yourself\n\nBankruptcy isn't rocket science but it can be complex and hard to understand all the statues.  So I highly recommend hiring a reputable BK attorney who can help you file correctly. They normally have  free consultation\n\nFiling BK is not the end of the world and can help someone regain a fresh start.

Yes, you can.  Anyone can file individually, and Chapter 13 bankruptcy only remains on the credit file for 7 years IF discharged (completed): it is referred to as a Wage Earner Plan, because the creditors receive a portion of the payments due to them.\nIf you prefer not to file bankruptcy, debt consolidation may be an option as well.

Contact the attorney who filed your case for you. You may be able to roll it over to a chapter 7, but you might lose property in the process. If your debts are that high, and your income that low, you might need to just let everything go back and start over.

I purchased some stock from a company who recently filed chapter 11 (lost some money, but that's another story), but I think they are required to send you or instruct your agent to send you notice of their filing.\n\nI am not sure, I only deal with chapter 7 and 13 bankruptcies.

I have done both.The second time I used a legal aid office. \n\nBankruptcy attorneys know how to quickly fill in the details and generally take about an hour of your time to fill in the blanks.\nIt took me more effort to do it myself with legal aid.  \n\nYou don't pay anything back. Chapter 7 is complete write off of all debt whether you, or an attorney, does the work. The question is, how valuable is your time and how knowledgeable are about the process.
