Hello. It's been almost 4 months since I filed, 2 1/2 since my 341 meeting, a 1 1/2 month since POC deadline and initial confirmation hearing (a FLA thing) and about 3 week since the last day for creditors to argue a discharge. It has been very quiet. No objections, no plan changes, no pacer updates,...

Hello. What happens if we sell out house in Florida? We currently have over $200k equity in the house based on current market prices. The total amount is currently exempt in FL. But once we sell it (if), will the proceeds of the sale be no longer exempted, and the trustee will require to pay 100% of...

Hi all,

I have a question on the trustee fees. I looked through the forum, but am a little confused. Our trustee wants 9.3% or 10%, I'm not sure the lawyer said both numbers.

But that is in addition to our payback amount?

So if we owed 100k, then we would have...

Hello again. What is the correct POF deadline in Florida. I am getting mixed answers. I have read some posts that states it is 90 days after the 341 meeting. I googled it and got a different answer; it states that creditors have 70 days to file POF after the petition filing date. Per Pacer, the POF...

Hello, I have a question about tax withholdings. We used the IRS website to recalculate the 2022 taxes to ensure that we have enough to pay the tax bill. But we also did it in a way that we either break even or get a small refund (less than $800). So the question is, are you allow to change your tax...

Hello,

What are common plan objections? I have read that most of the time, the original plan is objected and denied....

Hello Everyone,

Good evening all,

I am new to the board and just recently filed Chapter 13 in CA and am terrified of the upcoming 341 hearing and confirmation hearings. As it currently stands my payment will be quite significant and assuming all creditors due file claims will be around 60% of my balance...

I've recently filed and have some questions regarding reaffirming my car:
i reside in New Jersey and want to keep my car. I'm current on payments (never late). Some say reaffirming the car is good and some say not good. We really need this car bc this the only sort of transportation we have and...

Hi,

Hoping I can get some insight here on chapter 7 in New Jersey.

After fighting so so long my husband has given the green light on bankruptcy. Due to illness starting 3 years ago and a car accident we fell behind on things and it snowballed.

We live in NJ,...

I'm so ashamed that My life has came to this. 😢


Just received notice, that our home will be foreclosed on May 19th.

Seems that Chapter 13 is the only option We have left. We're behind almost $8k.

We also have medical bills, approximately $25k between...

I had my 341 meeting for chapter 7 in Atlanta today...what a mess. Probably the biggest issue was that I pre-paid my dentist prior to filing - from my bank account, not on credit cards - for a procedure to be done 2 weeks later. The dentist required pre-payment, and the procedure was phase 2 of dental...

I am so relieved. My story began 5.5 years ago with a trustee’s audit, a ‘Presumption of Abuse’ and a Dept. of Justice Audit thanks to an inexperienced BK lawyer. It’s a long read but I can’t imagine anyone going through this gauntlet again so I chose to share the major lessons I learned...
