Question by Jilly: About to file for bankruptcy – need more info?
My husband and I are about to sign our bankruptcy paperwork and the paralegal at the attorney’s office advised us to take 99% of the money in our bank accounts out immediately. My questions are: 1) do we need to keep receipts or do something to show where this cash is being spent since it isn’t in our account; 2) I’m guessing they will need a bank statement showing the account balance – how far back will we need to provide statements for? Thanks!

Better to get a bankruptcy atty, they’ll have all the proper forms and paperwork and get it to the court. Not worth the hassle.

Question by escritora: In Los Angeles. I need a lawyer or paralegal assistance to help me file for bankruptcy.?
Most are student’s and university loans. And yes, student’s loans can be included in bankruptcy. I offer Spanish-English translations as an exchange. Please do not send me links. Thank you.

I can’t recommend any bankruptcy attorneys in LA, it’s not my area, but I think you better look into student loans and bankruptcy before paying an attorney.

Discharge due to bankruptcy is only under rare circumstances. Maybe if one was paralyzed in a coma and had 4 minor children to support on their disability check. Seriously. That’s what the judges consider undue hardship. It’s been this way since changes were made in 1998 and 2005. You may be able to consolidate under Chapter 13 if you have enough income and not very much debt. But it won’t eliminate it and you must continue to pay any student loan balance even after you complete your plan.

Usually attorneys want to use translators who are experienced with legal work, but I have heard of instances where they will let a client pay off with translations. (But honestly, I think he just wanted to date the client. ugh)

Here’s some info on student loans / bankruptcy so you will understand your chances of discharging a student loan.

Question by Desmond M: Should I use a paralegal or laywer service to file a relatively simple chapter 7 bankruptcy?
I have reseached the new bankruptcy laws and I know all about the schedule I and schedule J filing requirements. My case is pretty straight forward (only credit card debt) and I make less than the state median. I don’t want to pay an attorney $ 1000 but I want the job done right the first time. What should I do?
