I will be reaffirming the car loan, and my lawyer thinks I should be able to keep the house without actually signing a reaffirmation agreement with this particular lender (kind of a stay & pay thing) - he recommends going that route if possible as the house is an older house. That way, I'll be able to walk away later if I see that it is getting to be too expensive to try to maintain.
I was actually doing pretty good until I had a mild stroke last year. Due to that, I am on disability for now - which has significantly dropped my income level. If my disability had started one week earlier, I could have had all of the medical bills covered by medicaid (grrrr...). I've been working with DFCS for literally over a year now to get those approved under a one-month lookback/spendown deal, but it has gotten to the point where a couple of those creditors are talking about suing now - so my lawyer recommended going the chapter 7 route to get that off of my back.

Car is lease which is up in 4 mos.
Trying to decide whether or not to file Chapter 13. 7 is not an option because my income from being a 1099 right now is enough that I can pay bills. However starting 7/1/10, I will become a W2 and income will go down. After taxes I expect to have about 4K/monthly.
