river85715 asked:
I am in the process of filing
chapter 13. My trustee recommends that I seek the advice of a lawyer. However, a lawyer is not in the budget right now. The trustee says that only a few cases will be successful without an attorney. Are there any trustees or attorneys out there that could give me a few tips for making my own case successful? Any sure fire ways to be sure I am successful on my own with this case? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
agirgen asked: I have already spoke with a Louisiana
Bankruptcy attorney and was told I qualify for
chapter 13. The only problem is that I found a new job in Florida that starts in January 09 (would need to move in less than two months). I was told by the attorney that it would take about three months to file the
chapter 13.
My questions are: Can I just wait until I move and file in Florida? Or, could I file here in Louisiana, but move before the case is complete; furnishing documents etc by fax or fed-ex.
I own a home (here in LA), which I plan on letting the bank take back as I am not up-side-down on or ahead as far as equity goes. Everything else (one vehicle, unsecured debt and a CC) will be rolled into the ch. 13.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
