Saint Louis Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Attorney.
You need to look through the terms of your contract. There will be details on there as to how long a lender will wait before repossession. In Missouri, most creditors will give you a notice of default and ask for payment before they repossess. You will get a notice of repossession before it is sold. If it is sold, you may be able to get it back through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. If you are having trouble maintaining your debts, it is probably worth a look. James R. Brown Castle Law Office...

Thank you for the question. We frequently get this question in our office posed to us by our clients and the co-debtors of our clients. I will answer each question using the numbers you provided in the original post. 1. Your standing with the bank and your credit should not be affected. However, careful monitoring of your credit report is necessary. People make mistakes and that includes the employees of the 3 major credit bureaus. You will need to watch your credit report to make sure your...

Technically, a bankruptcy can be on your credit report for up to 10 years...but ask yourself this: what will your credit look like if you don't do anything about your debt? If you haven't yet filed bankruptcy and are weary of the effect it will have on your credit, you can take solace in the fact that bankruptcy stops the aging process. Your credit has an opportunity to turn around if you get in control of your debts. If you have already filed bankruptcy, remember to practice good credit-...

You may be looking into debt settlement as an alternative to bankruptcy but I must caution you to be careful. The debt settlement industry is rampant with scams and fraud. If the debt settlement office is legitimate, they can still only attempt to renegotiate your debt. It will probably not wipe out your debt. Plus, a debt settlement office can't protect you from your creditors. Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a legitimate solution to credit card debt--and it can protect you from harassment or...

The truth of the matter is the answer to your question truly depends on what you want to do with the house yourself. Either way, there are options available to you as well under the bankruptcy code. Based on the fact that there are many options available to address whether or not you want to remain in the home, the best thing for you to do is to contact a local bankruptcy attorney. This is the kind of question that is entirely dependent on your situation--and the kind of question that free...

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. I know that many times bankruptcy can help relieve just the type of stress that you are describing. Now regarding your student loans – in most instances the bankruptcy will not interfere with your ability to borrow for education. This is especially true for federal loans. The US government is prohibited from discriminating against you just because you filed bankruptcy. This includes allowing you to borrow for education. Your existing loans will also...
I am an attorney in St. Louis, so my answer is based on the rules for the Eastern District of Missouri. If the case was filed in a different district, the rules may be different. It would be best to check with the attorney who filed the case to have that question fully answered. However, in the Eastern District, there are two ways that he could have gone about it in his plan. He may have protected his co-debtor and paid the whole note off in the plan. If the whole debt was not being paid...
The answer to your question depends on a lot of factors, namely whether the debt associated with the business is personally guaranteed or not. If the business debts are strictly associated with the business and hold no personal guarantee, then the answer is probably no. If, however, the debt was incurred by your husband personally, you may be facing a little more complicated situation. This is exactly the kind of question I would take to a bankruptcy attorney. Getting an hour with an...
This is a potential issue for Chapter 13bankruptcy--and it's really great that you knew to ask! I would encourage you to explore chapter 13 as an option to saving your home, but act quickly. As you probably know from your foreclosure letter, your sale date is not far off. If you do decide to speak with a bankruptcy attorney about filing Chapter 13 again, make sure you explain the implication of your husband's injury case with a bankruptcy. We are actually one of the few firms that does both...
You absolutely want to have the warrant recalled, as this can keep you from getting gainful employment, cost you to lose an existing job, or land you in jail. A call to a traffic attorney is usually an easy solution to this big problem. Most jurisdictions will allow an attorney to withdraw a warrant on your half once you've retained them. James R.
