If i see a lawyer and decide to file chapter 13 bankrupcy, what happens if i have cash advance loans taken out
Question:
Answer:
Cash advance from credit cards? Nothing, they're included.
Don't take cash advance now though. They do check to see when the last time you used your credit cards.
it depends on whether on not the cash advance is from a credit card a bank or whatever ..when you file for chapter 13 the people that you have credit with can go to the court and dispute you filing chapter 13 against them..so sometimes chapter 13 will cover some debt and not all depending on your creditors testimony and defense
I am sure you realize that with the changes made to the Bankrupcy law you will need to pass a ''mean'' test to qualify .if you do then an evaluation is made of how much you can pay monthly toward your debts in a payment plan through a trustee.everything that you owe is included in the bankruptcy, of course secured loans will have to be addressed and continue payments [like your mortgage and/or car loans, but you have the chance to deferr any payments that might be past due at the present [basically bring you current - but you would pay them in an ''extension'' of the loan process]. Your cash advance loans are part of your debts and as such would be included in the chapter 13.NOTE. If your cash advance loans are been taken out automatically from your bank account, revoke that authorization at once and also advise your bank not to authorize any more debits and/or as last resort change bank account/bank. I guess you dont want or dont qualify for a chapter 7 ? There you go out clean, start all over. Good luck.
A friend of mine took out a $10,000 cash advance and filed for bankruptcy the next day - the credit card company took him to court and won - delayed his discharge for a couple of months and he had to repay the credit card company.
If you took out credit card cash advances and still have the cash - pay them back and hold off filing for bankruptcy for about 3 months. The reason I suggest this is that the bankruptcy trustee will check for payments made to preferred creditors and the trustee could ask the credit card company to return those payments to be distributed in the bankruptcy estate. Chances are slim that the trustee will do such a thing. I waited four months between my last credit card payments and when I filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy based on that concern.
Man of La Mancha is off the mark - means test applies if your income is greater than the median income for your state according to the Census Bureau. If your income is less than the median - you can still file for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 - you get Chapter 13 automatically if your income is higher. The credit counseling before filing for bankruptcy and before receiving discharge was also added to ensure that mistakes will not repeat themselves.
I don't say this to be mean. Have you considered learning how to budget your expenses? I do not think you know how to live within your income.
They go bye-bye along with the rest. You then get one payment with greatly reduced charges.
