I am a College student. I lost my job ($10.70HR home depot) job back in 2010. I have $37,000 in credit card debt and owe $6000 to an Apartment that I had to just leave after not being able to find work. I stopped paying everything in 2010. American express went after me in court for $13,000 and won. The Apartment went after me in court as well. No one ever called me into court. I've lost a car due to a repo and my 730 credit score went down to 608.
I am within 32 credits of earning my bachelors degree and would like to get my life in order. I will have $48,000 in student loan debts so will need to get rid of the old debt some how.
I charged a lot of things like a 4 year old $2700 macbook pro ,$5000 in Gold and silver coins that I have sold on E bay little by little over the years. A $3000 ring that my ex gf ran away with. I don't have a whole lot they can take and am living on student loans only, supporting 2 children with my wife. We own a $30,000 home with one acre of land. 6 months after I lost my job me and my wife took our 401k and got a fixer upper home (2010). The home has allowed us to live cheap so we could go to college.
Question with less then a year and a half left of college is it now a good time to file ch 7 ? Will they take my student loan money that me and my family are living on as I am in school ? Are they going to ask where the gold and silver coins went ? I only have a e bay feedback profile to show reviews from the people I sold the coins to. Will they come after the home that is under me and my wife? Will they take our only car a 2001 jeep grand ($4000)? None of the debt is my wifes or in my wifes name. It was all my debt before I met her. She came up with $20,000 of the $30,000 for the home and I spent 40 hours a week for 10 months fixing this place up to make it livable. To put a price tag on our home I would say it's now worth $55,000 paid off.
Also when I took out the credit cards starting around 2004 I put my income was way higher then it really was.
Is this all going to come back to bite me or has so much time passed that no one will care object to a ch 7 ?
Thanks for any info or help
PS- my wife filed ch 7 in 2009 before we met so she can't file with me. None of the debts were after the marriage
