Kaplan Bankruptcy Firm

Child Support
There are different categories of debts. Priority debts need to be paid in full, and they include tax debts and child support and alimony debts. Secured debts are debts secured by an item of value, such as your car or house. If you want to keep an item that is secured, you will need to continue making regular payments and also pay arrearages in your plan. Your plan will need to apply any disposable income toward unsecured debts. Unsecured debts are those not secured by property, such as credit card bills or medical bills. These need not be paid in full, but your extra income needs to go toward repaying them. Unlike in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are allowed to keep all of your property in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy if you can afford this.

Secured debts are debts secured by an item of value, such as your car or house. If you want to keep an item that is secured, you will need to continue making regular payments and also pay arrearages in your plan. Your plan will need to apply any disposable income toward unsecured debts. Unsecured debts are those not secured by property, such as credit card bills or medical bills. These need not be paid in full, but your extra income needs to go toward repaying them. Unlike in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are allowed to keep all of your property in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy if you can afford this.
Spousal Support
A discharge is a court order that says you do not have to repay your debts, but there are a number of exceptions. Debts which may not be discharged in your Chapter 7 case include, most taxes, child support, alimony, and student loans; court ordered fines and restitution; debts obtained through fraud or deception; and personal injury debts caused by driving while intoxicated or taking drugs. Your discharge may be denied entirely if you destroy or conceal property; destroy, conceal or falsify records; or make a false oath. Creditors can not ask you to pay any debts which have been discharged. You can only receive a Chapter 7 discharge once every 8 years.

DUI/DWI
Under the new Bankruptcy Act of 2005, many of these debts are also not dischargeable under Chapter 13 unless paid in full. In a Chapter 7 some installment sellers can demand the return of their collateral such as cars, furniture, t.v.’s, stereo equipment, and appliances. Once the property is returned, however, the debt does not have to be paid. If the debtor is able to raise the actual value of the secured item in cash, the debtor may retain possession, this is called redemption.
Wrongful Death

Personal Injury

Bankruptcy
The Kaplan Law Firm has handled consumer bankruptcy matters for over 48 years. Whether you are filing for Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you should consult an experienced attorney about filing. We have substantial experience advising clients who are wondering whether filing for bankruptcy would bring them relief and which kind of bankruptcy might be appropriate. Our attorneys handle all of the crucial elements of our clients’ cases, with paralegals expediting paperwork that must be completed so that reasonable fees are charged. Student Loans
Foreclosure
There are two types of bankruptcy that individuals commonly file: Chapter 7 and Chapter 13. Both are filed under the federal bankruptcy statutes. When you file either type of bankruptcy, an automatic stay goes into effect. The stay stops most of your creditors from trying to collect debts and conduct collection activities, at least for a certain period. Creditors may ask the court to lift the stay. For people who are facing foreclosure, eviction, or the loss of utilities, an automatic stay may be a sound reason to file for bankruptcy.
Debt Collection
Your office has been calling me about a debt you claim I owe but which I have no knowledge of. The purpose of this letter is to dispute this debt, which I do not believe I owe, and to request that you validate it by providing the documentation and information requested below. This is not a refusal to pay, but a notice sent pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, 15 USC 1692g Section 809(b) that your claim is disputed and validation is requested.
