Do I have any rights against creditors?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
If you cannot pay your debts then the creditors (or at least some of them) will (sooner or later) sue you for the money plus interest and attorneys' fees in the Superior Court of the county where you live. They will obtain judgments sooner or later and enforce those judgments by garnishing your wages, levying your bank account, filing an "abstract of judgment" with the County Recorder's Office (which will become a lien on any real estate you might own now or buy in the future) and force you to go to court to answer questions under oath about your income, bank accounts, property, etc. (and if you don't go then you can be arrested for violating the court order to appear for an examination of debtor under oath). Once there are judgments against you then you will have to hide your property and income from creditors for many years. When you least expect it you can have money taken from your bank account or paycheck. You cannot ever repair your credit history with all the outstanding debt and judgments listed in your credit report. You can defend yourself in the Superior Court if you are sued but eventually you will lose each case if in fact you do owe the money for which you are being sued. There is no legal right not to pay what is owed except in a bankruptcy case. You have many rights if you want the creditors not to call you and you can control the times when they can call, where they can call and how often. Send each of them a certified letter telling them not to call you at all and asking that you be contacted only by U.S. Mail. Most will comply with your request but some will ignore the law and continue to harass you. You should discuss your situation with a local bankruptcy attorney to see if that is at least an option you should consider. Bankruptcy may discharge (wipe out) all or most of your debts and you can get a fresh financial start in life. Why live constantly being harassed and in fear of having your property taken if federal bankruptcy law offers the opportunity for a better life and rebuilding your credit history in just a few years!

Will child support be included in filing bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Spencer Thomas Hale (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at San Tan Family Law
It will not be discharged. You should however see a family law attorney to see about reducing or stopping the child support.

Do we qualify for chapter 7 if we have bill over 4500 dollars?

Answered by attorney Jackie Ferguson Graham (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ferguson & Ferguson
Your income is not too high to file a chapter 7, but in order to file you also must be within your exemption levels on your property and not have filed a previous chapter 7 within the last 8 years.
