COVID 19 Lockdown: Should I File Bankruptcy?

In response to COVID 19, Governor Gavin Newsom enacted Executive Order N-33-20 on March 19, 2020, which essentially locks down most businesses outside of the  16 federal critical infrastructure sectors. Since many residents in San Diego and across the country are not considered essential, many are now unemployed.   The Covid 19 lockdown is going to affect the entire economy in one way or another, with lasting effects trickling down into all facets of the economy.  Debt relief programs such as bankruptcy, forebearances, and moratoriums on evictions and foreclosures will soon become the new normal.  For many it might be the

COVID-19 DOES NOT AFFECT FILING BANKRUPTCY

While businesses, restaurants, and other services are shutting down everywhere, Doan Law can still file your Bankruptcy Case, 24/7.  This is because Doan Law has been electronically filing Bankruptcy Cases in the Southern District Bankruptcy Court since before the turn of the Century.  We were one of the first Bankruptcy Law firms in the Nation to file Bankruptcy Cases electronically and the first Bankruptcy Law Firm in the Southern District to file Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 cases under the new Bankruptcy Laws enacted in October 2005.  In no uncertain terms,  Covid-19 is not having any impact on Doan Law’s

Reaffirmation Agreement Policy of Doan Law

In a previous post, we had advised how it has long been Doan Law’s practice to not execute reaffirmation agreements except in very limited circumstances.  Reaffirmation agreements are harmful since they recreate personal liability on dischargeable debt, defeating the primary purpose of filing Bankruptcy in the first place.   Indeed, Bankruptcy Judge Mann went so far as to use sanctions against an attorney to void a reaffirmation agreement with Wells Fargo finding the reaffirmation agreement was entirely unnecessary and failed to account for the debtor’s best interest.  The attorney mistakenly thought the reaffirmation agreement was required to prevent a repossession and improve

Leveraging Chapter 13 to Stop Foreclosure and Keep your Home

Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a powerful debt solution for those looking to reorganize their debts in such a way as to prevent homes from being foreclosed or a vehicle from being repossessed. The focus of this article will be on using Chapter 13 to save your home. Foreclosure proceedings must immediately terminate upon the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy case, allowing debtors breathing room to submit a plan of reorganization to the court. Generally speaking debtors can use the Chapter 13 bankruptcy process to get current with their lender over a 3-5 year period. For example, if the debtor

Chapter 7 Meeting of Creditors: 341(a) Hearing

Once the Bankruptcy is filed, the Bankruptcy Court automatically sets a date for the “meeting of creditors.” In over 99 percent of the Chapter 7 cases we file, there are no “Court Hearings” or other hearings with a judge involved. Instead, there is solely this one “meeting of creditors” that is presided over by a “bankruptcy trustee” who is not a judge, but typically a financial officer or attorney appointed by the United States Trustee to oversee bankruptcy cases. Trustees are private parties and not public officials. Their sole purpose is to make sure you are complying with your duties

Car Repossessed? Immediately get back with Chapter 13 without fees.

Car Repossessed? Immediately get your repossessed vehicles back with Chapter 13 It is not uncommon for many of our clients to come to us too late, such as after a wage garnishment, bank levy, or auto repossession.  Yet most people do not realize that Chapter 13 can return repossessed vehicles immediately, and in most cases without paying any fees.  That’s right!  While you might be told by a creditor that you need to pay $1,800.00 to release the vehicle from impound, Chapter 13 eliminates those fees and allows the immediate release upon bankruptcy notice.

Removing Post Petition Claims With Chapter 13 Discharge

Removing Post Petition Claims With Chapter 13 Discharge Generally, a discharge in a chapter 13 case will not discharge post-petition debt.  Thus a $100k in medical bills that comes from an auto accident after the chapter 13 is filed remain your responsibility.  Most people think the only way you can discharge such post petition debt in a Chapter 13 case is by converting to Chapter 7 per 11 USC 348(d): (d) A claim against the estate or the debtor that arises after the order for relief but before conversion in a case that is converted under section 1112, 1208, or 1307

Reaffirming A Mortgage

Reaffirming A Mortgage Can I Reaffirm My Mortgage In Bankruptcy? We receive this question very frequently and it seems most real estate lenders are ignorant of the Bankruptcy Code.  Reaffirming a mortgage is a legal impossibility since mortgages deal with real property.  Yet reaffirmation agreements are only possible on personal property. Sections 362(h) and 521(a)(6), the provisions added by BAPCPA that terminate the stay as to an interest in property if the debtor does not comply with § 521(a)(2) or 521(a)(6) – by not timely filing a statement of intention and performing that intention under § 521(a)(2), or by not
