Q. Cost of Chapter 7 bankruptcy for credit card debts.

May 30, 2025

A: It depends on the lawyer and the complexity of your case. Run of the mill case, I Itypically charge 1600 bucks for attorney fees. I'd say $2,300 is the average. Again, for a relatively simple chapter 7 case.

Q. Can I file for bankruptcy with inherited home unrelated debt?

February 28, 2025

A: You need to consult with a bankruptcy attorney. Most have free consultations. How much equity you have in that home you inherited and whether you live in it as your primary residence is going to determine whether you're eligible for a chapter 7 or a Chapter 13 ( where you have to pay percentage of your debts back). Just not enough facts here for me to elaborate further.

Q. Do my car payments count towards lump sum payment required for redeeming car in bankruptcy? I’ve paid 8k, cars worth 4k

December 25, 2024

A: No. You can redeem it by paying the current value of the car at the time you file bankruptcy. Forget what you paid before. If when you filed bankruptcy you owed 4, 000 but the car was only worth 3,000, then you could redeem it for 3,000. If at the time you filed you owe $4,000 but the car was worth 6000, then you can just buyout the car for the $4,000 or keep making the payments until it is paid.
