They say we owe 250.00 now but we only financed 100.00 Please any one with adviceSometimes life make you deal with ugly and hateful people ,just think of them as sand paper. They may scratch you and rub you the wrong way but eventually you end up smooth and polished and the sand paper becomes old and worn out.

Typically, these types of creditors (i.e. consumer item secured loans, e.g. jewelry, TV's, computers, etc) will harass you for a bit, but then ultimately go away (most of the time).
As far as what to do, do nothing. (really, there is nothing you can do). If they want to enforce their rights, make them come to the BK court and enforce their rights, its no skin off your back to let them do so.
The other option is to see what type of Reaffirmation they propose, if you can get by with paying a token amount that you can "easily" afford, then do so to alleviate any future potential headaches in dealing with future collection attempts on the account. Otherwise, there is nothing you have to do.
Give them a counter-offer of $100 (if you can afford it) and see what they say, if they say no, do nothing.Last edited by HHM; 06-11-2007, 06:01 PM.

I put them down as unsecured creditors on the schedules because I felt if I dont have the property then it is unsecured. Do I need to change that ? Is there any motion they could or might file that would negativly affect my discharge? Because my case is a no asset case they were told on the notice of filing not to file a claim unless told to do so.
So just ignore them?Sometimes life make you deal with ugly and hateful people ,just think of them as sand paper. They may scratch you and rub you the wrong way but eventually you end up smooth and polished and the sand paper becomes old and worn out.

You said they go away most of the time what happens if they dont can I get in trouble? will my case get dismissed or will I just have to pay them. I am so sorry for the millions of what ifs but I just am worried and want to be prepared for the worst if need beSometimes life make you deal with ugly and hateful people ,just think of them as sand paper. They may scratch you and rub you the wrong way but eventually you end up smooth and polished and the sand paper becomes old and worn out.

Like someone above said I would make a counter offer of the 100 dollars, see if they take it. Explain that the property was lost (I'd be honest with them about what happened) and that you are unable to return it. Offer the 100 dollars (assuming you can afford it) and see if they settle. Otherwise ignore them, you don't have the property and assuming your case is no asset they aren't gonna get anything.May 31st, 2007: Petition Filed by my lawyer
