You can inform either the trustee in his bankruptcy case or the US Trustee's office in your district. It would be best if you have evidence of your allegations.

You can trade your car in once your plan is confirmed, because upon confirmation, ownership in your property returns to you. However, you cannot borrow money while your chapter 13 case is open until you obtain court approval to do so.

If a debt was listed in a bankruptcy case that received a discharge order, any future collection effort is a violation of that discharge order and subjects the collector to penalties and sanctions. You should immediately send a copy of your discharge order to Portfolio Recovery. Keep copies and records of any communication with the collector.... Read More

If your plan calls for the surrender of the vehicles, you should stop making the payments. I hope you did not include the expense of making these payments on Schedule J because the fact that you will not have to pay this expense in the future will impact your required plan payments.

NOOOO, don't pay them. Even if you were keeping the cars, the plan takes care of the car loan during the confirmation process. But since you are turning the cars in, this is unsecured debt which will be put in a pot with your other unsecured debt and paid pennies on the dollar, any payment you make will just be money wasted. Or maybe you can get it back, I'm not sure, I've only been a bankruptcy attorney for 25 years and I've never seen anyone who made a totally unnecessary car payment, and I don't know how I'd handle it....

By this time your attorney should have answered your questions. Once you have retained a lawyer, most ethical lawyers will not give you advice which may contradict the other lawyer. The time to ask for second opinions is before you have retained a lawyer.

You really should consult with your attorney. Cars are suppose to be returned within forty five days. There may be a little leeway here, but your attorney is the best suited to answer these questions.

Wait for your attorney to answer your question. If you think you are stressed out now, wait until you receive conflicting answers over the internet from attorneys who do not know the details.

After you file for bankruptcy relief, you can usually hold on to the car until the car lender asks for it back, which often takes more than a month after filing. Be sure to keep the insurance policy paid while you have possession of the car though. When you file for bankruptcy relief, the first important thing that happens is that the "automatic stay" kicks in. What that does is prevent anyone from taking your property. Of course, they must know about the filing for them to obey the automatic stay. Presumably, the lender on the car was listed as part of the petition; however, sometimes you have to send a notice of the bankruptcy filing directly to the lender to prevent that they "accidentally" repossess your car while the stay protection is in effect....

Since you have an attorney already, it is unlikely that another will want to give you any advice. Ordinarily, in your situation, you would not need to continue making mortgage payments. But you should ask your attorney to be sure.

The only reason this would be a conflict of interest is if your bankruptcy attorney still owes your husband money. If the job your husband performed for your attorney is over and has been paid in full, there should be no conflict in this matter.
I have responded to your inquiry according to the laws of Massachusetts, where my firm is located. Laws can vary significantly from state to state and cases tend to be rather fact-specific, so you are best served by consulting with a knowledgeable attorney in weighing your options.

It certainly sounds like you qualify. We cannot know for sure without checking the dates and disposition of the prior case, but the Bankruptcy Code specifies that the time between 13s to get a discharge is only 2 years. If you are talking about Chapter 7 to chapter 7, the timeframe is 8 years. 7 to 13 is 4 years and 13 to 7 is 6 years unless more than 70% of your debt was paid in the first, discharged case. In that case, no waiting period is necessary. It?s complicated. Consult with a lawyer and good luck.... Read More

You must list all of your debts and debts that you are jointly liable for. If you list your husband's credit card that he used to buy something for the household and you are not a signer on the account then this debt will not be discharged. Also, if you are on the account only you will receive the discharge and the creditor can still pursue him.... Read More

Yes, you should include debt service payments your non-filing spouse makes for debts that are not being discharged. I just add a miscellaneous installment payment amount for "non-filing spouse debt payments," based on an estimate of his total monthly payments to all such debts. If the trustee wants more details, s/he can always ask for documentation but that has never been requested on any of my cases.... Read More
