Hereforinfo - it sounds like you are the Trustee sympathizer or a Trustee himself lurking in this board.
I am not getting your penchant to lecture some people on how imprudent or bad they are... and all of this from Trustee's standpoint. I have my atty to relay this info. I am on this board to share experiences and get advice, not to get lectured.
Oh, and one other thing. I am reporting your post to Kia HQ in USA for offending their brand name and reputation.Last edited by Liore1477; 08-21-2009, 11:40 AM.

As the owner of two Kia's I am a little offended by those remarks. I can't be too offended though since I bought them because they are cheaper. I needed a specific vehicle type in both cases and they were the only cars I could afford in that class. The first was an suv that I needed for work and the second was minivan that I needed for the kids. I drive my Kia's proudly knowing that my family is provided for. If you want to snicker at me that's fine, while you are at it I have a Dynex tv and I buy some generic food items too.

Well, I traded in my saab 9-3 (ie, a $40,000 car) for a hyundai elantra as part of my pre-bankruptcy planning, and LOVE the elantra.Last edited by backtoschool; 08-21-2009, 12:23 PM.You can't take a picture of this. It's already gone. ~~Nate, Six Feet Under

Kpower, that's exactly what I am saying... how can anyone say "Hope you get financed at Kia dealership", as Hereforinfo said? That really implies that Kia is the last resort type of car.... And it is not the case. I got some solicitations from Ford dealership, too.

In the end, as you know, the only opinion that matters is the trustee's.
And for the record, I know everyone on this forum secretly envies my sweet bicycle and my bus pass...LOL

Bkmaggster, I agree it's all about perception. I would add that we all have different communication styles, and while one person puts it politely, another one may be very blatant and downright rude. So I take no offense whatsoever because only I and my close circle know my life circumstances, and no one else does.

We came under scrutiny of the UST. We got through it and ours wasn't for car notes but I'm thinking that what the UST is thinking is this:
It is not NECESSARY to have 2 cars @ $40 K each and if you didn't have those then you would have extra money to put towards your other debts.
The UST looked at our case closely and even questioned the fact that I don't work and that we are putting a money in dh's 401K. It was crazy all the little things he looked at.
Good luck to you! Your lawyer should file your objection to the UST's motion. If the objection is a good one then it may get dismissed before you have to go to court.4/09 Converted to a Ch 7 due to loss in dh's income
5/09 UST now involved no idea what happens next
7/09 UST has decided to withdraw his motion to dismiss!
7/27/09 DISCHARGED!!!

The totality of circumstances always goes to an objective look at the debtor's particular circumstance and whether a discharge under Chapter 7 would be abusive. Trust me, the McMansion case didn't open up the doors and make those parts of the Code disappear. They are even mentioned in the decision.

Your sharing of your bk related life circumstances includes those of us who read your posts in your circle.Well, I did. Every one of 'em. Mostly I remember the last one. The wild finish.

As was mentioned earlier if the two, 40k cars were actually secured loans rather then leases you would have more of an argument against the UST since congress allowed this.
I'm not implying the OP is a fraud or an abuser especially when some cities are very expensive and some careers actually require expensive cars, but if this was me I would have basically dumped the cars and bought two cheaper 12k cars, stopped all payments on all debts except for the house and with such a high income save up the money to negotiate with your creditors like 10to 20 cents on the dollar.
The UST probably feels the same way and wants you in a chapter 13 to do just that.
Good luckThe essence of freedom is the proper limitation of Government
