DONT do it … I’m 6 months in.. I wasn’t behind on anything … but thought it would be good to help me get out of endless payments of unsecured debt … I’ve paid 10k in lawyer and in trustee fees .. my mortgage payment is still made by me … the bank gave me a fee of $1325, and it cause me to be behind on my mortgage payments… and you only get disposable income ….. so you’re screwed … I pay $1610 a month .. that’s with my truck and unsecured… it’s BS … I’m now paying way more that ever.

I wrote out my Debt Snowball last week thinking I’m finally in a place where I can make some payments to get out of debt. Yesterday my bank account was wiped clean due to a levy. That was my rent and food. Plus any money that hits those accounts is gone. I have 0.00 and I didn’t even get a notice or subpoena.

What is the bankruptcy to protect?

@user-lm4cb2zq5b Жыл бұрын

Hi. I have mortgage arrears that i just want to include with the chapter 13 plan. Can i pay the current mortgage directly to the mortgage company(exclude the current mortgage from chapter 13 plan) so that i can save money from the trustee cost?

Thanks for the question. This is definitely an attorney question, so have you spoken with this with your attorney? If you don't have an attorney, feel free to give us a call at 833-272-3631 and we can get you connected with a reputable one that serves your area.

Hello. I'm thinking about filing Chapter 13 Bankruptcy but I have two cars. One car is for my son to drive to work. The other car I really need to keep as well for myself. Is it possible to keep 2 cars and have the payment lowered? I'm in the state of Michigan

@AscendFinance 2 жыл бұрын

Hey India, great question! You can sometimes do a cram down in Chapter 13 if the car loan is more than the value of the car. Meaning that you can reduce the loan amount on the car, which can ideally reduce your monthly payment. A local attorney would need to confirm all of this with you, however. I'd be happy to break down the rest of this with you, so feel free to book time on my calendar if that's helpful! calendly.com/ascend-finance

Are all creditors notified of a chapter 13 filing or just the creditors that you owe?

@brittanymyers7323 Жыл бұрын

Why does it take that long to discharge a chapter 13? Also, how do you build credit during the bankruptcy?

@AscendFinance Жыл бұрын

That’s a great question. 3 or 5 years is a long time! Do you have to do chapter 13? Debt negotiation can sometimes be less expensive and faster but you may want to consider lawsuit likelihood. For rebuilding credit, we actually built a free platform for bankruptcy filers if interested at www.tryascend.com/rebuild.

My home is in foreclosure and the sale date is 9-14-22. My home was damaged during hurricane Ida. I lost my job as a result, I haven't been able to pass a physical since because of severe spinal problems. I'm currently in the process of fighting for my disability. The mortgage company has proceeded with foreclosure and said that they are holding the insurance money 45,000 dollars. They told me that I should file chapter 13 but I literally can't even afford that. I'm in a position that I eat every other day because of the situation. I literally don't know where else to turn. I wish I could afford a single bullet

Oh my goodness, I am so sorry for what you are experiencing with the hurricane and that you are eating every other day due to this situation. I understand financial complexity pretty well, so if you are interested, please give us a call at 833-272-3631 and ask for Ben and mention KZfaq comment and I’d be happy to speak with you. Sorry again - there’s definitely a way through this.

Do you have home insurance

@julieschoolcraft1503 Ай бұрын

Chapter 7 or nothing. But the problem is that if you are married but your spouse doesn’t want to file because your finances are completely separate, you can’t unless you include your spouse! I have no options because my spouse is not in the debt that I am. I’m taking care of my disabled son by myself and I have no choice.

Can inflation change chp. 13 payment plan as my income no longer can compete with inflation therefore chp. 13 payment is no longer affordable

@AscendFinance 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Irma, you actually may see that the Chapter 13 payments would decrease because of inflation due to the extra cost of living expenses. This is definitely something to address with your bankruptcy attorney, and our Chapter 13 calculator based on the official US Chapter 13 bankruptcy forms should also be able to help you calculate your disposable income. Also give us a call at 833-272-3631 if you want to chat about your situation in just a free evaluation. Thanks for the great question!

Hello, My debt personal loan about 172k, my credit card about 23k No property home, no car loan. My gross income about 7,800 a month, net income about 4000. My expense rental home 1000 My gas food… 500. With a my daughter I live in California. Can you let me know if percentage success for chapter 7. Thank you so much, Tony

@AscendFinance Жыл бұрын

Hey Tony, thanks so much for the context. Our free Chapter 7 calculator can estimate both qualification and cost (link: tryascend.com/qualify/bankruptcy/ch7/ytc ), but I can give some insights. So, your annual income is ~$93,600 and the means test for household size of 2 for cases filed after May 15, 2022 is $92,321 (source: www.justice.gov/ust/means-testing/20220515), so you are slightly over the income limit, but some people still can qualify over median. As such we built this free above median chapter 7 calculator to help you estimate that based on your expenses: tryascend.com/qualify/bankruptcy/ch7/aboveMedian/ytc. That's a lot. Please let me know if you have any questions!

I filed chapter 13 but so how long before I can file again

@AscendFinance 2 жыл бұрын

Hi Vicki, that's a great question! You can find out how long you need to wait by using the 2,4,6,8 rule shown below: 1. Filing Chapter 13 after Chapter 13, you may need to wait at least 2 years since you filed. 2. Filing Chapter 13 after filing a Chapter 13, you may need to wait at least 4 years since you filed. 3. Filing Chapter 7 after filing a Chapter 13, you may need to wait at least 6 years since you filed. 4. Filing Chapter 7 after filing a Chapter 7, you may need to wait at least 8 years. Here is a link to an article we wrote that goes over this: shorturl.at/mouOQ. However, if you are still confused or if you have any questions, let me know or book some time directly on my calendar: shorturl.at/csxBH

What’s the point if they’re making you pay everything back?

@AscendFinance Жыл бұрын

Some people may question that. In some situations, you may not have to pay almost anything back if the disposable income calculation is negative. Do you qualify for chapter 7? Feel free to take one of our free calculators to estimate or reach out at 833-272-3631.

i dont want to go thru the whole process i just want to buy more time to get caught up .

@AscendFinance 2 жыл бұрын

Hey Keith, ah that's really challenging I'm so sorry! If you were to go utilize the Chapter 13 to get caught up on a secured debt, you may have to see through until the end to prevent a dismissal. I have questions about what's causing you to fall behind on the secured debts, as that'll help me see whether you may need to file a Chapter 13, or if there are other options. Here are some main things to understand and assess: 1) What's causing you to fall behind? 2) If something else is causing you to fall behind, would resolving that piece first allow you enough room to get caught back up? 3) Do you have unsecured debt as well? Or is the main challenge a mortgage or auto loan? I'd be happy to go through this with you, as I can provide some insight on some options that may help. You can book sometime on my calendar if it's helpful to chat: calendly.com/ascend-finance

If you get Social Security and retirement from either a pension or IRA/401k I think you are judgement proof so no need to file for bankruptcy.
