- Q. Is purchasing a mattress a month ago going to hinder my ability to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy?
- A: The answer really goes to intent. Did you plan to file bankruptcy when you purchased the mattress? Had you spoken to counsel prior to purchasing it? Did you make a good faith effort to pay for it? Also the cost of the mattress is important - a $5000 mattress going to cause more issues than one for $500. If you're really worried about it, wait at least 90 days prior to filing. While the trustee or creditor could object to discharge, I really don't see those that often. Either way, it's important to speak to an attorney on these matters with more specifics to determine if it's a mountain or a mole hill. I'm guessing the latter!
