- Q. What is the bankruptcy process for low-income individuals in Texas with significant debt and risk of repossession?
- A: While I know of no established "bankruptcy clinic" that provides services you requested, most law firms who do bankruptcy realize that you wouldn't be in their offices if you checking account was flush. Although you don't reveal your location, I am sure that there are good lawyers that do this work in an manner you can afford. Do not hesitate to call. Every minuted postponed is a minute wasted.
Good Luck
- Q. Can I get a new payment plan if I file my car under bankruptcy?
- A: Chapter 13 will probably work for your situation, but you need to have a good bankruptcy lawyer represent you. The 13 is based on a written plan for repayment and classification of all creditors, and they seem to be unique to each bankruptcy court.

- Q. How to handle household expenses claim in bankruptcy when paying all gas, water, and trash bills in a 3-person household?
- A: While I agree with the advice of my colleague, it is my position that Bankruptcy is not DIY. Find a good lawyer to walk you through. Bankruptcy lawyers understand the lack of money in their client.
Good Luck
