If you have a foreclosure pending or are behind on any debts, don’t play it alone. Recently, Mr. Taieb filed a Chapter 13 and devised a plan to help a gentleman reorganize his debt and save both of his homes.  In addition, since he filed Chapter 13, one of the mortgage companies has given him a trial payment plan which will hopefully result in a permanent loan modification.

The worst thing you can do is to wait for the workers’ compensation settlement to arrive before filing for bankruptcy. If and when you receive your settlement, it may not save you from foreclosure because you may not get enough to reinstate the mortgage, and/or you may not get the settlement until after the foreclosure is finalized.

One of the biggest reasons that people end up in bankruptcy is because of divorce. As was analyzed in Chapter 2 of The Debt Trap: How Your Life Choices Impact on Your Financial Future, choosing the wrong partner is one of the major reasons people file for bankruptcy.

HOW DOES THE CHANGE OF EXEMPTIONS AND CHAPTER 13 DEBT LIMITS  HELP ME WITH MY BANKRUPTCY FILING? | Taieb Law

HOW DOES THE CHANGE OF EXEMPTIONS AND CHAPTER 13 DEBT LIMITS  HELP ME WITH MY BANKRUPTCY FILING? | Taieb Law | Legal & Law | Scoop.it

On April 1, 2019, the US government updated the Federal Register with new bankruptcy exemptions and Chapter 13 debt limits.  Because of the increase in exemptions, it could make a difference whether you have to file a Chapter 7 or Chapter 13. Thus, the new exemptions can help you qualify for a Chapter 7 when you didn’t before or lower your payments to general unsecured creditors in Chapter 13.
