"You and your contractor are responsible for meeting the terms and conditions of this contract. If you sign this contract and you fail to meet the terms and conditions of this contract, you may lose your legal ownership rights in your home."

We are filing chapter 13 bankruptcy and we bought carpet through Empire Today and GEMoney Bank. This is the fine print of the contract we signed. Our laywer said that this account may be considered secured. First does that mean we pay this separately from our BK13 payment each month? This is the highest bill we have because of the interest!
We have been paying over 0 per month on this bill for a long time…in fact we have paid in over 00 to this creditor on an inital purchase of ,600. With the interest the total is still over 11,000, basically none of the balance has been paid down on this….does anyone have any info on if we will still be required to pay this amount every month after we file 13?

My student loan was listed as a creditor in the chapter 13 plan, so I think that they must have recieved some money from the trustee, (actually I thought that they were fully paid, like the IRS)…now this collection agent is after me for 5,000 which is probably the total amount. Is there some way to find out if they recieved money that I paid throught the trustee??

A promissory note is signed and reviewed the day a contract is signed for services rendered to a client residing in North Carolina. Months into the payment plan stated on the contract and the promissory note, the client files bankruptcy. After receiving the court’s letter informing the creditor of the client in question filing chapter 13 bankruptcy, what is the creditor to do? Is the creditor still entitled to property disclosed as collateral for non-payment? Is it secured or unsecured? Is the chapter 13 bankruptcy basically an order for refinance? All help and advice is greatly appreciated.

While in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy what happens if a creditor contacts you for payment that is included in case and creditor has been notified? We are 6 months in and all with courts have been taken care of and payments are going through trustee. Could that creditor be in violation of an order?
This creditor showed up at our home demanding another resolution to the payment

i have already been to the 341 meeting and the confirmation hearing is in a week. what is an approximate timelime for the creditor to repossess the car from our home? will they just come and tow it away? can i still use it while it’s still in my possession? sorry for all the questions, and adavance thanks for any helpful info.
i expect them to repossess it, so surrender it i think. won’t be paying on it anymore. as for driving it at work, i will use my partner’s car for that so to save the embarrassment.
we actually want them to take it back and not pay on it anymore. i guess that’s what i meant about including it in the chapter 13, not the actual plan. sorry for the confusion.

After paying 4 years into a chapter 13 plan I looked at my file and thought my car was payed off.I called the creditor to find out where the title was and they told me that they had not been recieving payments from the trustee.I called my atty and explained to them that my car should have been payed off and that i was getting hit twice on my credit for negatives.one for the late pays 2 for the chptr 13.He said they would take care of it.I called back to citifinancial to find out if he did and to no avail they hadn’t.I came home one day to find a wrecker truck looking for my vehicle which I only owed 1050.00.At that point I contacted the creditor an told them since my atty was not listening to me nor trying to find out why my direct deposits were not paying my creditors,I would drop the bk and pay them myself.They said ok.Now Im awaiting title but in staed of paid as agreed she said they ould still have to show the late pays which was not my fault.what do i do?

I have been paying on a chapter 13 for three years. My truck creditor was included as a "priority creditor". The secured portion of the debt has been paid. However, an unsecured portion still exists. Still, the creditor will not send me the title until the chapter 13 is discharged two years from now. This wouldn’t normally be a big deal, but the truck is in dire need of repairs (00+) of which I can not afford. I have had offers to buy the truck or trade it for something that is actually more affordable (and runs!). I have spoken with my trustee and they advised me to speak with the creditor and/or my lawyer. I spoke with the creditor and they advised me to speak with my lawyer. I am having problems reaching my lawyer. What actions can I take to get my title? If and when I get my lawyer, what action is he likely to suggest?

I really did save 10,000 cash when I was younger,
no dependents, and pay down on my auto and house, bought new furniture. Had hardly any bills and perfect credit. I then made some more bills, manageable because I had a good paying job. After spending a lot of my savings on the dps and finding I was ripped off, I obtained more credit No problem. I am making good money in a career highly employable. Always have a job.

Had to give most of my things away, even furn. I bought new. Paid cash for my furniture, not
credit cards. My dps were cash, not credit cards.
I have been living on credit. Barely made anything on my home. I called here, talked to nurses on the floor
and they said come on. No problem. More than one.

There is a a lot more of this question I asked posted under my name in the
section personal finance, this jeliminated a lot of details. What was done to me was criminal discrimination and harassment. Criminal. I have been injured mentally, and physically, and they do not intend for me to recover. I am not the criminal, I am the victim.
They would let me do nothing to try to regain my health, or help myself. Nor could I get a job in a hospital. Told to file bankruptcyh, chapter seven, lost cause. Denied the right. Told there is one bank ruptcy attorney here. Insulting my morals, character, intellect. Insulting my education, family, everything.
Threatening my children. Vile place. i have no where to go. Burned all bridges. Want to be near my kids.
My only daughter and her hb and five kids. Intended to stay here many many years if not my life. Promised I would
be able to get work by nursesw on the floor. I had the credentials, work history, education and a lot of valid experience.
I know my grammar, spelling, etc.
I simply am not going to correct this, why bother. It is truly a lost cause. I have
simply been written off for no reason except vile prejudice, lies, and fraud
committed against me. I did not deserve this. No one does. I did nothing at all to deserve this. I am truly not able to work . If I regained my health, I am too old now to do anything. I am devastated and I cannot pull out of this malicious sadistic thing they did to me. Live in this subsidized, not state, apt. It is horrible.
Exercise toward me in cruelty and avarice.

I found this intresting tidbit while doing some research online…
Repossession of Property: Not just phone calls and unfriendly visits, filing for bankruptcy will help you get back any property (including cars) that the creditor may have repossessed. (Provided the property has not been sold!)
from http://www.bankruptcyhome.com/creditandbankruptcy.htm

my car was reposessed about 2 weeks ago and is just now going up for sale. If I file for bankruptcy is it really possible to get my car back before its sold. I believe filing would require the bank to put a hold on the sale.

My Husband and I filed Chapter 13. However, we have decided it is not a good move for us. So, we have our Creditor Meeting with the Trustee this week and want to know what will happen if we decide not to go through with this? Mainly, does this go on our credit report anyhow?
I wanted to add that we are using a Bankruptcy Attorney and we are just looking for more info to make our decision before we talk to her about it. Thanks for all of your help in advance

This has a lot of racial overtones. They will not let me know my genetic heritage. I need to know for my healths sake. I look extremly white. I am not as white as I look. Threatened over this.

Debt settlement is no solution. I have rent. which a hunk. My electricity bill just doubled last month. Rent and electric is a hunk of my check, medical is a big hunk, My rent just went up, and will go up again. Any increase in income increases rent. I am paying over a third, sometimes half of my income for medical. I still do not get to see a doctor every time I need to do so. i just received myh SS check. I have paid my bills and I have 3 left for car gas,
for groceries for a month. I have not bought gro. I bought some extra stuff
for something unexpected that came up.
that 173 is for Christmas dinner, groceries, evrything, soap, etc.
This is merciless, cruel, sick. It really is an attempt to make things so hard on me I will die, kill myself, or leave. I am not suicidal. I have no where to go.
What is left. Bankruptcy is the only solution. They will not let me. There is something more involved here.
I notice that Raul has no return email. What an unusual name, same as the
merciless attorney.
I do not owe 100.000. I may owe now about 50,000 /60. I had about thirty or fourty thou on there for the emergency surgery. They wrote some off. I have paid some off.Much of that is finance
charges. Much of it was medical, much of it was trying to get work, and expense of education trying to get work. As I said my creditors kept extneding credit even when they knew I was off. I had such good work credentials. Had
I not htought i had work security I would never have made any bills.
I am not a sneak or theif. My kids have absolutely no part in my problems. I am the victim here, not the perp. I have absolutely no reason, none, to be defensive or afraid because I am totally absolutely not guilty of any scheming or plotting or collusions to do anything dishonest. Nothing. I came on top of the world thinking this place was not prejudiced. Ha. I came thinking I would be treated as a human being. New life.
Chance to have some happiness which I have not had since 1985. Delusion.
Lied to. Victimized all over again. No.
I do not like being a victim, but there is no word for it. I do not like some one
in authority here trying to make it look like I have had "special" privileges.That is a blatant blatant horrible lie. Special abuse and discrimination is what I have had. This place is vilely prejudiced.
The means test said It was a lost cause. i had so much debt. I cannot get an attorney. I am told the one I allegedly offended is the only one. I was 58 when I came here. They way I have been done means work is now out. I will be fortunate indeed if I do not die from this.
I wouldhave had my BSN by age 60, and then my MSN by 62. Of course all this is out. It was all planned, my educaiton, and I could have done it.
I am a hard worker, and I was dedicated to what I was going to do.
I would have then been able to work less hours making more money and work into my seventies and never have to go through this degrading loss of dignity, resources, loss of education. It is as if I stepped into a hornets nest of hatred poverty and personal grudges against me. It is not fair. It has been devastating. Now there is nothoing ahead but stark years of poverty. I am not close to my relatives, there is no going back or forward. Pure viciousness. Nothing mor eor less.
Looks so unprejudiced to visit
People in health care work longer than others. Lillian Carter was waorking in the peace corp into her seventies.

My children did not do this to me.
They are innocent of this. They are also
not responsible for me. This was preplanned sadistic maliciousness, and I am not paranoid. Tnhey did not mean for me to survive this. This discrimination, hate crimes against me, has gone on for a long long time.

After a long period of disability and a financially devastating divorce I have no realistic option but to file chapt 7. I’ve put this off for ages as I tried to save for legal fees. One creditor has begun court proceedings which I have thus far ignored. I need to end this asap and begin anew. My credit was perfect for decades before this disaster. I do not take this lightly at all, but now that it has happened to me, I just want to fix it and start over. Any advice on how to begin filing the paperwork, online resources to help guide me, etc. would be most helpful and greatly appreciated.

I need to know if I should file bankruptcy. I have read online that IF you do not have ANY valuable assets, and limited pay, meaning NOTHING by law that a creditor can take from you that there is no need to file bankruptcy? Amount owed is all credit cards (about ,000 maybe a little more) and also a home morgage that I would be happy to include. Is it better to just let them charge off the cards or to file bankruptcy? I have NO valuable assets at all and also get a SMALL amount of help from the state. I will answer any questions… I need TRUE advice on this PLEASE!
i also forgot to mention… these debts are already about 1 to 1 1/2 years old… some are already charged off… and others still contact me. It has gotten out of hand. Some credit card debts that had a 0 limit are now at over 00. Thanks all for answers!

a furniture store credit account 18 months ago. Our attorney said we can ask to do a redemption; thus paying the furniture store/creditor the "fair market value" of the furniture so that we can keep it. How is the value determined? I mean, we could go in saying one thing, and the creditor another. Is there an online resource for this or something to give me an idea?

I paid some debts with no intention of filing bankruptcy. I was trying to settle on a car accident claim, but the other party decided to sue rather than settle. This pushed me into bankruptcy 2 months later. Now the Trustee in this case is claiming "Preferential Treatment" and requiring me to pay this amount to the estate because a debt was paid within 90 days of filing. Doesn’t the intent have any bearing in this case? There was no "Preferential Treatment" on my part, as I tried to resolve my debts without bankruptcy, but had no alternative after I was sued. I have records to prove that I retained an attorney to settle the accident prior to being sued and filing bankruptcy.
One payment in question was to my father who put a new engine in my car. I am not going to let the Trustee contact my father to get the money back. I wasn’t attempting to hide any money, just repaying the people and creditors that I owed. The Trustee has contacted other creditor to collect close to ,000 that I had paid prior to filing.

I filed chapter 13 prior to law changes last year and the repayment plan was confirmed. Upon filing, the amount owed to creditor which came up in the credit reports was 4 times what was actually owed. I think my identity may have been stolen, or collection agencies may have double or triple dipped me. I have been making timely payments to the trustee for 12 months now. Yesterday I received a letter from the trustee advising that she’s filed a motion to dismiss due to "material change prejudicial to creditors in payment terms resulting from unscheduled, unlisted, or improperly listed tax or other claims." I owe no property or income taxes, have not sold or transferred any property, and have not acquired any new debt. I went to my attorney this morning, who claimed they had not received this letter. The attorney handling my case was in court all day and has not returned my calls or emails. HELP
