Q. Should I file for bankruptcy to get out of a timeshare

11 August 2020

A: A Chapter 7 bankruptcy would ordinarily generate a discharge of your timeshare obligation. However, the decision to file the Chapter 7 should be based upon your entire financial situation. The Chapter 7 remedy is a powerful tool to clear out dischargable debts, and can only be used once every 8 years. I recommend that you consult with an experienced bankruptcy attorney for an opinion as to whether the Chapter 7 filing is currently advisable.

Q. Hello, I am receiving unemployment insurance in my checking account after the 341 meeting of creditors chapter 7 in Ca

15 June 2020

A: On the date that the bankruptcy petition was filed, there came into existence an automatic stay order which precludes any creditor from undertaking collection activity. The conclusion of the 341 meeting does not serve to change in any way that automatic stay order. When the discharge issues, the stay on collection becomes permanent as to dischargeable debts.
