I am going to be filing for Chapter 7 pro se in Houston TX next week and have a couple of concerns regarding payments made within the last 90 days.
My son made a payment of $1300 to my HOA to establish a repayment plan for past dues. I made his next three car payments to pay him back. At the time, I wasn't intending to file, so I hadn't done any research on how that would impact the case. The payment to the HOA was drawn from his checking account, while the three car payments were drawn from mine.
I also make a payment every month to the administrator of my debt management plan, but that is only distributed to some of my creditors. Most of the others declined to participate.
I would stop paying the DMP and wait until the car payments are more than three months old, but my lender denied a modification and a short sale and I haven't been able to find a buyer since the house is underwater. Now I have a week and a half to postpone the foreclosure. Chapter 13 isn't an option due to declining income.
What kind of response can I expect from the trustee regarding these payments? What documentation should I provide at filing and what should be witheld until the trustee asks for an explanation?
Thanks for any assistance.
