    Should I quit claim??

    Hello. I have been reading this forum for quite a while, and this is my first time posting. I have charged off significant cc debt going on 3 years, with sporadic calls from one collector on one account that I always hang up on. I suppose I should have filed BK, but have been riding this out this long, it has yet to make a difference.

    Here's the rub: I recently discovered that although I am asset-less, I am an 8.33% owner of my mothers house, worth somewhere north of 325k. She discovered this recently, and my 2 other siblings were equally surprised. Not that we care, because we always thought she was the only one on the title, and it would be willed to the 3 of us some day (hopefully a long time from now).

    My question is, what concerns should I have regarding collectors who may or may not have information regarding this surprising situation. Should I quit claim immediately and sign my 8.33% back to my mother, or should continue to whistle past the graveyard of my debts? Thanks, this forum is invaluable...

    If you're not planning on filing bk for at least 2 years, I probably would deed it back to mom. If you are going to file however, you don't want to do that.

    It may can be exempted...

      I live in Massachusetts, and not really sure of the exemption situation here, should I file.

      Anyone know this?

      Thanks...

        Like the other poster said, if you are not going to be filing BK for several years, then quit claim it back to mom.

        In all honesty, I can say with almost 99% assurance, they won't have a clue about what you did in terms of the quit claim unless you tell them about it.

        I learned that from what happened to a heavily indebted family member who died. It was a landrush for the remaining assets after the person's death, and the creditors did not have a clue about what happened to the assets because nobody said anything to them. All the assets are now long gone. The creditors gave up (even after many threats of "legal action") and now don't even call or send letters anymore about this dead person.

        The main source of information for creditors is what you tell them, or what they can see on a credit report.
        The world's simplest C & D Letter:
        "I demand that you cease and desist from any communication with me."
        Notice that I never actually mention or acknowledge the debt in my letter.
