FAQs

How is that possible?

Filing a bankruptcy can improve your credit score, especially if you have bad credit. When you file for bankruptcy and eliminate your debt, your income to debt ratio will improve, thereby improving your overall credit score. Also, the creditors know that you cannot file another bankruptcy for a certain period of time, and you become a better credit risk. If you file for a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you can often use your payments that are being made to the Trustee as a credit reference. If you have good credit, then filing for bankruptcy may damage your score.

When is Chapter 13 a better option than filing a Chapter 7?

A Chapter 13 is a better option when you have a mortgage that is behind in payments. A Chapter 13 allows you to consolidate the arrearage in mortgage payments and pay the amount back over an extended period of time. If you file for straight bankruptcy (Chapter 7) and want to keep your home, you must be current on the payments on the date of the filing of the Chapter 7. The same is true with an automobile. Chapter 13 is a better option when you have a car note that is behind in payments. A Chapter 13 allows you to stop the repossession of the automobile and pay the car note back over an extended period of time.

What happens if I file bankruptcy but a creditor has already filed a lawsuit against me?

When a lawsuit is filled against you, generally you have about 30 days to get it taken care of. It you fail to do so in that time, the creditor will win by default. Regardless whether you file a Chapter 7 or 13, as long as you do it within the given time frame it will stop the judgment from being entered.

If the bank forecloses on my house after I file, will I have to pay the balance?

When an individual files for bankruptcy, they are given an option to reaffirm (keep) or decline the secured debt that they have. If a house is surrendered, the deficiency on the house is discharged or eliminated in the bankruptcy.

Once I file for Chapter 13, can the car creditor go after my Dad?

When an individual files for Chapter 13, there is a provision in the Bankruptcy Code that provides that the filing of a Chapter 13 not only stops any action to collect a debt from the debtor, but also stops any action to collect a debt from a co-signor who is listed on the petition. In order to fully protect the co-signor under the Chapter 13, the debt must be paid in full at the contract rate of interest. The payments however, can often be extended and therefore the monthly payment to the creditor can be decreased.

Does Insurance Cover Distracted Drive In Raleigh, NC? A distracted driver is at fault when they cause a car accident. North Carolina is not a no-fault state, which means that the insurance company of the at-fault driver is responsible for providing the accident victim with compensation for their injuries. This includes financial compensation for their medical bills, their pain and suffering, their lost wages, their vehicle damage, and other accident-related costs. In the unfortunate scenario of a hit-and-run accident, it may be possible for an injury victim to get compensation from their own policy’s uninsured motorist/underinsured motorist coverage.
