    Misc questions, balance transfers before filing, car repo, work schedule

    Hi, new here but I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot of me Hopefully some of you can answer my questions.
    I did a few high balance transfers back in Oct and Nov when we were running out of money so I could pay some bills~ it was directly deposited into my bank instead of paying another cc (I was trying to juggle money knowing I could make min payments on everything for months with this amount). I can account for every penny. I get conflicting answers on if I have to repay this when I file since it was so close to filing (hoping to file in Aug or Sept). I won't be able to wait until Nov to file because we are already late on things.

    Next question: my car is too much to pay without 2 incomes ect.. I want to let it go and start over- how long do banks take to repo a car? I have car seats in there and I can't afford to buy new ones if they take the car when I'm not ready. It's a major bank. I don't want to pay to keep it fully insured and I don't want to pay on the upcoming registration. I plan on borrowing a family members car- is that okay to do?

    Also, I don't know if this will look bad on us but we are both in school (our income qualified for aid so why not use it to better ourselves?) My husband lost his income last year and started with FT school when he was unable to find a job- any job. As for me, I didn't always work FT (I was in school, we don't have daycare or family nearby and I have to work around our schedules, and sometimes I get called off of work because of census although I was scheduled) In other words, I don't work FT with my other responsibilities- even if I did we still couldn't pay. I'm worried about not having FT employment and how that will look.

    I think that is all keeping me up at night.. any responses would be great. Thanks.

    Sounds like both of you are students now and one working parttime?? Are you going to school on grant monies?
    Yes your Trustee will be interested in "where" your funds come from and the "cash advance" will need to be a year older or more for the trustee to really ignore. They really 'frown' on cash advances right before filing, it can cause your case to be dismissed.
    As for your auto the company cannot come after it till after the stay from the court has been lifted releasing the auto so they can come and get it. Once the "stay" has been lifted, it's fair game for them anytime to pick it up.
    So if you plan on keeping your carseat - you best take it out at nite when you know they can come anytime. If you keep it in a garage, then they will have to knock on the door and have you give it too them or you make arrangements to drop it off to them.
    Keep us posted on how you are handling things.

    My suggestions are from "personal experience" and research only. Do not consider this as legal advice. Each bankruptcy case is different.

      Yes it's grant money for school. I'm working about 30 hrs/week but will be getting a salary increase in April or May due to me being in school. the salary increase will also be a new career move (higher title) where I have more job opportunities and can then work FT, go to school and take care of my kids.

      I plan on filing around Aug or Sept and the last transfer was Nov.. still close but I never even considered bk as an option back then because I had been optimistic.
