Asked on Sep 03rd, 2012 on Bankruptcy - New Jersey
More details to this question:
i filed for chapter 7 after i found out about a lawsuit pending stemming from an uninsured motor vehicle accident in which personal injury resulted. no fault has yet been found, however my driving privilege have been revoked, i have been completely honest in filing out my petition worksheets. i am pretty sure the debt will be discharged, thus restoring my drivers license. since i was not DUI is there any objection that can be filed? i was not willful and malicious either. i am broke, unemployed, have zero assets, what is the likelihood of them showing to the 341 once they see in the petition that in broke?
You seem to have a good understanding of the issues and it sounds to me like you should be able to discharge any debt you have resulting from the automobile accident. Just be sure you listed the other driver and vehicle owner as possible creditors in your bankruptcy schedules, and that the lawsuit is listed in the Statement of Financial Affairs (assuming it was filed prior to your bankruptcy case.).
Whether they show up to the 341a meeting has no bearing on anything.
