If I put my doctor’s office down as a creditor, are they still entitled to a portion of my settlement after bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Margaret L. Evans (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Margaret L. Evans, PC
Question: If I put my doctor's office down as a creditor, are they still entitled to a portion of my settlement after bankruptcy? *- if you are getting compensation for a "personal injury claim" then that will be exempt from the trustee's hands (in most cases). however, if you already have a personal injury case underway, the trustee will be closely monitoring that case for the outcome so as to determine what portion, if any, can be seized for the pool of unsecured creditors. so, most likely, your doctor will get some money from the settlement, even though your personal liability to pay it can be extinguished through the BKY. *

If I am self employed, what income will they use for bankruptcy, my 1099 or my income tax return?

Mark Stuart Cherry
Answered by attorney Mark Stuart Cherry (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Mark S. Cherry, Attorney at Law, PC
The 1099 reflects business income before expenses. Your income is the net profit from the business. You will? have to provide monthly "Profit and Loss" statements as the tax return data is usually stale dated and not the most recent. Be cautious of knowing whether your self-employed?business assets (accounts receivable, equipment) are exempt or not.
