Asked over 2 years ago - Schenectady, NY

Bankruptcy

i have two cars, one is a 1996 the other is a 1998. I was told by one attorney that i need to sell one car and i was told by another attorney that i didn't have to. Can someone in prison file for bankruptcy. Also, I am behind on my mortgage but trying to catch up. I have no equity in the house, can they take my house from me?

I am not licensed t practice law in your state but I can offer some general advice.

I have recently addressed some of these issues but I will try now to address the others.

I know f nothing that would prevent someone in prison from filing bankruptcy. Bankruptcy does require appearance at a meeting, perhaps the Trustee will allow the prisoner to appear by phone.

Also, I you plan to keep the house you either need to be current with the mortgage when you file (if filing chapter 7) or file a chapter 13.

You should talk to a local lawyer to best determine which filing is best for you.

Good luck
