Trying to file a Chapter 7 in Wisconsin. We were right at the exemption value for the house using the new 2024 county tax listing value. I thought this value was high for our little 3/1 ranch that needs work at $292,000.00. Now the trustee is seeing a value of $344,000 at Zillow and $359,000 at Redfin....

I earn my income to sell used car lamps on ebay. I sell on ebay on my own name. I purchase used lamps from junkyard. I prepare to fill out B106A/B as business inventory under business property. My inventory estimates 30 pcs with purchased price $25 per pcs. The total purchased price is $750. Is using...

We plan to file on Monday. Our lawyer has said that we are likely to lose part of our tax refund in April. The less cash we have in our bank accounts now, the more of our future tax refund we can exempt.

We currently have about $500 in our bank accounts. We already did the car's service,...

I am considering filing bankruptcy. I have about $25,000-$30,000 in debt from a $12,000 deficiency balance on a car repo, about 3-5 thousand in collections/charge offs, and only a $400 limit credit card open with Discover. I have a broken lease that I'm still being charge for until the lease is up or...

Hi,

Hoping I can get some insight here on chapter 7 in New Jersey.

After fighting so so long my husband has given the green light on bankruptcy. Due to illness starting 3 years ago and a car accident we fell behind on things and it snowballed.

We live in NJ,...

I had my 341 meeting for chapter 7 in Atlanta today...what a mess. Probably the biggest issue was that I pre-paid my dentist prior to filing - from my bank account, not on credit cards - for a procedure to be done 2 weeks later. The dentist required pre-payment, and the procedure was phase 2 of dental...

I am planning on filing at the end of the year so I'm getting my ducks in a row. I'm thinking we may now qualify for Chapter 7 so I want to think through everything involved in that so I'm not blindsided if that's the case. I'm in the Middle Court of Florida Tampa area to give you an idea of where we...

I'll try to make this short. Received my first summons from which I assume is the original creditor certified mail on Monday (I have 28 days to answer), I am $47,000 in debt - all credit cards. I planed on filing Chapter 7, just for some reason I thought I would not get sued for a few years. Mainly...

My dad, who is in his late 70s, has gotten himself into too much unsecured debt. He has assets, which are all in retirement accounts (IRAs) and investments (stock). Also a house, under a mortgage but not (thankfully) under water. About 1/3 of the debt is an unsecured loan is left over from a business...

This is my second post, first one was in Chapter 7, now I'm thinking of Chapter 13. Will be meeting w/attorney next week.

I live in South Florida and inherited family home (paid for but not worth much) in North Florida (not homestead). My invalid sister is living in the house rent free....

Hi, all, I posted on this question back in March, but some things have changed, making me think that a conversion to Ch 7 is even more sensible. (Didn't do it then, as the $130/month bk payment was reasonable.)

First: I just got a message from the court saying we've been dismissed--likely...

I have been sick since the 19th, the day I did the emergency petition. (a debt collection 3rd party was suing me)

I went to the library and checked out about 5 books, 2 of them were very helpful. I have no choice but to go through with this as a lawyer won't touch it now. I am stressed...

I am so happy to have found this site, and have learned so much on here so far. I am considering a pro se filing in Arizona, am planning on meeting with some lawyers when I get the time too.

I've got a couple questions. First does anyone know about the arizona household property exemption?...

Hello - I am getting ready to file Chapter 7 (by myself - finances don't permit me to afford a lawyer). I am single, do not own any real property, have less than $1,000 in household goods/assets, and I am still making payments on my car. Here's my question: regarding my car, I owe $7,600 on it and Kelly...

I just found this in PACER...does this mean that I owe them $1,620 or my entire refund amount? (I had calculated that I would owe them $1,000ish). My attorney really screwed the pooch on this one. If we had filed when I asked him to file, this wouldn't have been an issue. Also, my 341 was just last...
