What will happen if I have a loan and I missed payments because I didn't have the money?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Musilli Brennan Associates, PLLC
Lot's of bad things, you credit rating will go down and if you get late enough your loan will be declared in default, you will be sued and collection action taken against you. If you need relief the best place to start is with the creditor seeking more favorable terms.

What can I do if my car was repossessed by the lender after bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Sheryl Susan Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
Once the Bankruptcy Petition is filed, the automatic stay prohibits collection activities, including repossessions. If the lender did not obtain a court order for relief from stay (after notice to you of a hearing and an opportunity to be heard), then it sounds like they have violated the automatic stay. Bankruptcy courts have the power to order a creditor who willfully violates the stay to pay attorneys fees, costs, and punitive damages under 11 U.S.C. 362(h). If you told the lender and the repo man about your bankruptcy filing and they took the car anyway, their conduct would probably be considered willful. Penalties for violating the automatic stay can be severe. The information presented here is general in nature and should not be construed to be formal legal advice, nor the formation of a lawyer/client relationship. You should immediately contact an attorney for specific advice and to protect your rights.

How will removing my name from the deed affect my bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You will have to report the transfer of your interest in the property to your father and if there was equity in the house that belonged to you then the trustee can set aside the transfer and sell the house and give your father his share of the equity and keep your share of the equity to pay your creditors. You should not have transferred the property without first discussing it with a bankruptcy attorney. You should discuss it now with a bankruptcy attorney to see if the transfer can be undone if necessary and if you would have enough exemptions to protect your share of the equity in the house. Transferring property is very dangerous. It is easy to sign a deed but the consequences of doing that are very serious. If the amount owed the bank on the property is more than the value of the property then it should be no problem that you transferred your interest since you had no equity but the problem will be if the mortgage balance is less than the value of the house because by transferring your share of the property you gave away your equity in the property. You might want to argue that you really had no interest in the property since you only held legal title and it was really owed by your father. The problem is that proving that may be difficult and you are taking the risk that the trustee in bankruptcy will go after the house. Again, make sure you go to a local bankruptcy attorney to discuss your case and that you obtain legal representation.
