I filed bankruptcy in Sept.2006. I just heard from the trustee that I have to sign over my tax return ( if any) over to him, and that this would not be put towards the balance of my debt. I do not understand how he can take my refund legally? I live in Missouri.
I filed for bankruptcy in 1999 and listed my child’s mother as well as other creditors under ch 7 (Chapter 7). I now have a court order to pay child support to her.
We received a call from our attorney after the bankruptsy was finalized; telling us that we could now sell the inventory because the Trustee did not do anything with it.
I cosigned for my 18- or 19-year-old son to get a credit card somewhere around 1999 or 2000. He filed bankruptcy, and now they are coming after me. Can they take my Social Security disability check?
I have been told by several people that disability income can not be garnished; however, I don’t know if that is really true. Is it?
Can I file for bankruptcy without involving my spouse?
Bankruptcy can be a way to obtain debt relief from crushing credit card debt and other debts, but it should not be entered into lightly.
