Can you go on a trip to Hawaii if you are in a chapter 13 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Nothing about Chapter 13 will stop you from going as long as you can find the money to pay for the trip, or better still, find someone else to pay. Chapter 13 will keep you on a very tight budget and you may not be able to afford a vacation as you once could.

What is the cost to file a wage garnishment?

Answered by attorney Sharon M. Siegel

You need a judgment first. Then, a Sheriff or Marshal (if NYC) can garnish for you, and help with the forms.

Can I file bankruptcy after starting a short sale?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney D. Nathan Davis (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Davis Law Firm
You can file bankruptcy after starting the short sale process. The question is why you may want to file bankruptcy? Short sales may help you buy another home in the future. Short sales may also cause you to have a tax liability from "forgiveness of indebtedness" income taxes. The lender agreeing to the short sale may also demand a judgment against you as a condition of agreeing to the short sale. The real estate agent and the lender always come out ahead. The reason is the agent gets a commission. The lender will not accept a short sale if less is received from the short sale than the lender believes it will receive after completing a foreclosure. You need to consult with an attorney to determine what is in your best interest. I expect the real estate agent and the lender who are knowledgeable about this situation to look after their interest. You need an attorney who will look out for your interest.
