      crediter addresses

      Use the last known address and any possible address (emergency contact number from employee's app, etc.) Put them all down on your matrix, and they'll mail to each one. Any that are returned, the court will ask for further help on. Remember, you have it make a very good effort, but the...

      Tax Refund & Ch 7 MO

      Hi! I'm in MO too and strongly suggest that your fiance try to add his deceased wife's bills to his bankruptcy. Missouri has a spousal medical necessity law which many attorneys are not terribly familiar with, but elderlaw attorneys see it alot. It states that spouses are legally responsible...

      One last question- the lawyer that sent me the letter gave me 30 days to ask

      First off, getting served is getting served. If anybody asks, tell them you're being sued and drop it. Mumble something about "non-disclosure agreement" or "gag order". Next, show up to the summons date. Don't worry about your BK filing needing to be before the summons date. At the summons...

      Another delay

      Accountant is fair game. Mutual fund company is also fair game. Tenants are not normally contacted unless the trustee is going to direct them to start sending the rent check to him....and the trustee better have a good reason "why" that is necessary. Please remember that bankruptcy is a...

      Trustee Wants Tax Returns

      While in theory a trustee has a right to examine ANY records that pertain to your financial situation from ANY time frame, the expectation is that they will confine themselves to relevant documents. For instance, if you where paying your bills up until two years ago, lost a job, and replaced it...

      Discharged!!! A few final questions...

      >>>>However, most credit apps will ask if you've ever filed for BK <<<< Actually LadynRed, potential creditors may have limitations: Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), it appears that asking about bankruptcy within the last ten years is permissible. FCRA Section 605 (15 U.S.C...

      Trustee Wants Tax Returns

      DeeDee, If I understand this correctly, only your husband is declaring bankruptcy, so stop thinking "we" and think "him". The trustee has a right to investigate hubby's finances and anything joint, but can't really seize anything jointly held. It sounds like you've got a pretty good attorney...

      Just when it can't get any worse!

      DeeDee, assuming you haven't made a mistake on something (which is fixable by your attorney), it sounds like you have a hardcase for a trustee. Some trustees get a real power trip. Here's some tips 1) Make your attorney work for that retainer. The key here is your attorney will (hopefully)...

      341 Problem

      I'm curious as to the "HOW/WHY" questions about the house transfer from 4 years ago even arose. Just how far back is this trustee looking?

      letter concerning motion to dismiss chapter 7 case

      One of the "easiest" (it's a relative term) ways to find out what your living expenses are is to simply total up what they've BEEN. 1) Start with your check and go back 1 year. 2) If you're a cash type person, look for those receipts. If you're cash type person that throws away receipts. STOP...

      Trustee's Attorney Billing Me?!

      SallyX, go to this site and read the trustee's manual. If I read this right, the trustee is required to fund his/her/its activities out of the estate, not from "you". If I remember right, yor attorney bailed on you, and you went pro se to the exam, right? Sounds like someone is trying dirty...

      Bankruptcy fraud

      Hmmm...I was under the impression, obviously wrong, that what happened post petition to your life was usually NOT germaine to the petition, unless it was a windfall like the lottery Specifically, if you were making $24,000 a year before and on the day of the petition, the fact that you got a...

      concluded 341,with 1yr stip

      Razzle, Remember that a TRUSTEE cannot dismiss a bankruptcy...only the JUDGE can do that. The Trustee can make lots of noise (through a motion to dismiss)...but the JUDGE decides your fate. The trustee's job is to administer the BK estate. If you feel the trustee is being too hard, you can...

      taxes with chapter 7

      Your accountant is incorrect (based on the information you supplied). You do not owe taxes on this transaction (the abandonment of the home) as the debt was relieved thru Chapter 7. A 1099A was sent to you because the IRS requires it now. It does not mean you automatically owe taxes. The IRS...

      Forming an LLC to protect assets just before bankruptcy?

      >>Let me put it in another way: do the Bankruptcy laws pre-empt the LLC laws when it comes to the limited liability protection? The Colorado ruling seems to say NO.>> Actually, Kharvel, the ruling says MANAGEMENT, not ownership, meaning that the trustee could not participate in the actual day...

      Expense's List

      kennych, You might like to read this: http://www.usdoj.gov/ust/ustp_manual/manual.htm It's the trustee's manual. It sounds like some trustees are off the reservation, and most attorneys seem loath to bring the trustee to heel. "The trustee has a duty under § 704 to object to the debtor’s...

      Past tax question post bk7

      The IRS is an eighth priority claimant for income taxes. IRS gets paid before the credit card companies. If you included the past due taxes on your petition then the trustee should have communicated with the IRS. The trustee cannot claim the tax refund until the trustee requests a determination...

      irs debt

      Definitely an attorney's question (for more than one reason). But my gut tells me 'No' AND "Yes": "NO" because 940 and 941 taxes are fiduicary tax collections-your husband collected them from his employees (true, the government MADE him do it), but that was NEVER his money to spend somewhere...

      Post Bancruptcy

      Joel, since you lost your records you may not be able to answer these questons but give it a shot. 1) Are you sure that you paid all taxes owed for 1990 and before? The house investment being $53,000 and the tax bill being $53,000 could be coincidence. It may be that you have unpaid taxes that...
