I've been unemployed since March 2020 and my only income has been UI benefits. Several times over the last 18 months, AzDES (who handles UI in my state) didn't pay my benefits for months at a time, so I would get lump sums once they pulled their heads out of you-know-where. This caused a lot of the...

Hello Everyone! I'm thinking about filing bankruptcy and have a consultation with a lawyer on Friday. For years, I've made bad decisions regarding my finances and slowly I've learned that living paycheck to paycheck won't work for me and I want to come into my future marriage with a clean slate....

In my (pro se) case, I have a creditor who recently filed (and won on default) a state civil court case for the debt. (The creditor is actually a collection agency/debt buyer). That creditor had not (to my knowledge) contacted me directly, always through a local attorney, and did not, in the state civil...

I realized this was something I had never thought to ask - I was told you can't discharge your student loans but I never thought to ask if it would affect my IBR plan or progress.

I'm on REPAYE through Nelnet for some dept of education loans and I have about 10 years into the 20 or 25 or...

I got my list of things the trustee wants and this is what it says regarding tax stuff:

COPIES OF YOUR 2019 AND 2020 STATE AND FEDERAL TAX RETURNS AND ANY TAX
REFUNDS YOU RECEIVE. You will have to provide me with your 2021 tax returns when they are

We just filed and I happened to be showing my family member the petition and noticed that for monthly expenses the lawyer put 380 for transportation, maintenance, bus fare, etc. When I filled out the paperwork I put 150 so maybe they changed this on purpose? For my monthly income vs expenses I'm negative...

So, a couple different questions, the first being pretty simple. Do I need to mention a regular PayPal account in my filing?
