Yes as you represent yourself. If you had a lawyer, they would not talk to you and insist only your lawyer. 'HubIf I knew it all, would I be here?? Hang in there = Retained attorney 8-06, Filed 12-28-07, Discharge 8-13-08, Finally CLOSED 11-3-09, 3-31-10 AP Dismissed, Informed by incompetent lawyer of CLOSED status, October 14, 2010.

The question itself doesn't make sense. You want to sell off a vehicle that you owe more than it is worth? So if I understand correctly, you would have to come to the table with money? If that is the case, you don't sell the vehicle, you turn it back into the creditor and reclassify the balance of the debt as unsecured.

Yes, I owe 8,000. I have someone who wants it for 7,000. It is worth 7,500. I will come up with the money to make the difference. Ive been trying to sell the car since before the bankruptcy.
If I dont sell it before discharge I will reaffirm and continue to pay on the joint loan, untill it sells.Last edited by KP1980; 10-02-2008, 11:08 AM.

Or you could just light your money on fire, at least you will get some heat from it for a few minutes. My point is, why pay off a debt that you can discharge in the bankruptcy?Disclaimer: I am not an actor on TV, but I play a BK Paralegal in real life.

I do want to make the right choice, and not waste any money.

You have 2 threads going on this and it is confusing everyone. Now that you added the joint debt issue on this thread, you are correct. The debt will be discharged from you but not the co-signor (unless they have filed BK as well)Disclaimer: I am not an actor on TV, but I play a BK Paralegal in real life.

We are all stressed when we get to this point. Most folks make several threads too about the issues in their stress , don't stress about that
I understand the stress. It will get better.
Have you told the joint/co signer that you are filing bankruptcy?May 31st, 2007: Petition Filed by my lawyer
July 2nd, 2007: 341 Meeting Held
September 4th, 2007: Discharged and Closed.

Your joint loan is between your husband and yourself (per other thread)
So basically you are wanting to sell this car so that your husband doesnt get stuck with the bill. Correct?
While I am not a professional , I do hope if you call the Trustee you are 100% honest with the entire details of this. You have only given bits and pieces at a time here.
You have a loan with your husband as a codebtor- you want to sell it and make sure its all paid off so that he isnt responsible. Because basically this would affect you as well.
Definately sounds preferential to me.
The sale of this car WILL be questioned and WHY you sold it will also be questioned. The sale of anything large like this will be looked into further. And then once the details come out that you sold it to 'help' YOUR husband you just opened up a whole new can of worms.
Dont think it wont be obvious. Trustees do this every single day and can smell rotten fish from a mile away.5/29 Filed 7~ 341-on 6/24
8/27-DISCHARGED
11/2 - CLOSED
EQ-604 EX-605 TU-560 ~4.5 months after discharge

Im not helping my husband by selling it, Im helping us because any payments come out of our household income.
When the trustee asks why I sold it, it was to pay off the loan. Im selling it no matter what becasue we've been paying for a vehicle we dont need and cannot afford. I dont see anything fishy about that. We will not make anything from this sell.Last edited by KP1980; 10-03-2008, 05:07 AM.
