Common Questions About Bankruptcy
Report
Although permission from the Court is needed to buy or sell property, it's generally not difficult if the purchase or sale is reasonable, even if it means needing to reduce the Chapter 13 plan payment. Many of our Chapter 13 clients have had to buy vehicles or sell houses while in Chapter 13.

Things to Know About Filing Bankruptcy
Report
Thousands of people file bankruptcy each day because hard times prevent them from paying their bills. Job and medical problems are the most common reasons people file bankruptcy. A study by Harvard Law School showed that two out of three people in bankruptcy have lost their job and half have experienced a serious health problem.
Consumer Law
Report

The conduct must be in connection with the advertisement, sale or lease of consumer merchandise, but the definition of merchandise is broadly defined to cover services, goods and many other items.

Report
Unfortunately, most people do nothing to defend debt collection lawsuits. Maybe that's because they don't think there's anything that can be done or maybe they don't want to spend money on a lawyer. But there are sometimes defenses to these lawsuits and it might be cheaper to pay an attorney to defend the lawsuit than to let a large debt become a judgment.
