New Hampshire Bankruptcy Legal Questions

To the best of my knowledge, tenants are only entitled to return of deposits when their tenancy is terminated (usually when they move out).  Nothing changes just because a landlord files for bankruptcy.  The owner may change, but that doesn't alter the tenant's obligations or the rights under the contract.

Harrass you?  I'm not sure I understand your question.  If you are not making payments necessary for your Chapter 13 plan, then reminders or admonitions from your lawyer do not constitute harassment, they constitute him/her doing their job.   Actually, that's more than their job.   Mark J.

It depends on whether you have signed a reaffirmation agreement or not. You need to contact your bankruptcy lawyer and they can let you know whether you signed a reaffirmation agreement. If you reaffirmed the debt then you are still fully responsible. Generally, if you did not sign a reaffirmation agreement then you are not responsible for the debt. Again, be sure to check with your attorney. Terry Duncan Duncan Law, PLLC4801 E. Independence Blvd.Suite 1100Charlotte, NC 28212(704) 563-1224  Charlotte Bankruptcy Attorney... Read Answer

I'm going to take a leap here and guess that your question is regarding dischargeability of taxes.  Income taxes are dischargeable if all of the following prerequisites are met as of the date your bankruptcy case was filed: (1) it has been more than 3 years since the returns were last DUE (including extensions) to be filed, (2) the returns were timely filed or it has been at least 2 years since the returns were filed, (3) there was no fraud involved or attempts to evade the tax, AND, (4) the taxes were not assessed within the last 240 days. The only way to determine the date taxes were assessed is to obtain a record of account transcript from the taxing agency.   Also, a little known fact, but the 240 period is really 270 days. Tax dischargeability is very complex.  You should consult with a knowledgeable bankruptcy attorney in your area. Mark J.

Bankruptcy provides a fresh start, but seven months is not very long to already be considering bankruptcy for a fresh start.... Read Answer

I don't know if bankruptcy is your best option. I need more information. As long as you are not liable on your husband's LLC obligation, then you do not have to file bankruptcy with your husband, assuming you do not have any other reason to file bankruptcy. Your husband's non-bankruptcy options include 1) debt settlement (beware of debt settlement firms - they don't usually work)(hire an attorney), 2) Debt Management Plan through CCCS type firms.

What do you mean by stop the lien? The lien exists, if you want to retain the property, you will likely have to pay it. If you are upside-down, you may want to consider surrendering the property. In addition, a chapter 13 requires a debtor to have regular and adequate income to pay their secured debts, living expenses, and a plan payment. If you do not have enough income, then you may not be able to receive a confirmed chapter 13 plan. If you still want to retain the condo, and have adequate income, then you can use a chapter 13 to make payments on the HOA account.... Read Answer

The law provides that the Debt reporting agencies must keep separate files on Husbands and Wives. However sometimes it bleeds over into each others files where for example both parties are liable for the joint debt.
