Hey everyone,
first and foremost I am an idiot for landing myself back into this situation. Had a Ch7 Discharge (home and all) back in early 2013. Life was good then went to crap around Covid. Back into debt with CC’s but was managing, thought the worst and prepped the possibility of wife losing job during covid and fell behind on mortgage (Not eligible for Mort. Mod since I already received on previously.) and here we are today.
Current CC/Loan debt around $40K & current.
mortgage arrears $60K rounded up.
Currently in FC process which I sent an answer and now pending pretrial etc starting end of June. (Filed answer mostly to delay)
So, in an attempt to save the house we will be filing BK13 Sometime in May. I know I will be in a 100% plan because our incomes are good. Ironically, if the house had no sentimental value to us we would just walk away but thats a different story.
We both have steady / Secure jobs (as you can get ) now with good incomes.
Me: $175k/yr ( can go higher with OT, maybe >$200k)
Spouse: $125K/yr Salaried
Rough estimate BK 100% payment : $1800-$2K dependent on interest rate since we will definitely be in a 100% plan with high DMI.
Family of 4 with 1 child still a minor.
Questions:
Still current on my Unsecured debts, this is pretty much a late minute decision to file for BK13. Will the trustee give us grief for preferential payments even though I will be in a 100% plan? Going to go with my previous attorney since he has been good to us before, but wanted to start doing my research so there aren’t many surprises if any.
Will the trustee make us pay more if he see’s we have a decent amount of DMI even with all expenses, mortgage and BK payment and will be in a 100% + interest?
We have 2 cars that the whole family shares, 1 is paid off and 1 is financed. We are positive in our home Value but exemption’s should not really matter if Im paying everyone back 100%, or am I being presumptuous?
Thanks all
