Legal Answers
6 Questions Answered
- Q. Can the uplyft capital loan be forgiven
- A: "Forgiven" and "discharged" are two different terms. Yes, the debt can be discharged in bankruptcy. If it is a secured loan then you will have to continue making payments to keep the collateral or you can surrender the collateral but either way the debt is discharged. If it is unsecured it can be discharged. If the loan is forgiven then you could have serious tax consequences. Any cancelled or forgiven debt can be considered income to you and reported as such on your taxes.
- Q. Error on 7 bankruptcy wrong amount owed 2 yrs ago discharge
- A: As long as the creditor was properly listed in your schedules (correct address) and they received proper notice and it was a dischargeable debt you are ok.
- Q. I filed bankruptcy 10 years ago can I still be liable for the water bill I was discharged from the home
- A: Attorney W.J. Wintestein, Jr. provided a perfect answer and I cannot add to it.
