Legal Answers
Q. I have been fighting foreclosure in court for 12 years. The bank has filed three motions for summary judgment and all
A: The answer to your question will depend upon a number of variables. My recommendation is that you retain legal counsel to, at the very least, review the matter and give you some guidance from there.

Good luck with your case!
Q. I've paid 13 months on a chapter 13 bankruptcy so far. I am really struggling to make the payments.
A: There are a few potential reasons for your being in a Chapter 13, but the ones that I can come up with are:

1. You've filed for Chapter 7 within the last 8 years and your only option for bankruptcy is to file under Chapter 13; or

2. You could not afford to pay an attorney fee up-front (which isn't a great reason to file under Chapter 13, but attorneys run businesses and need to be compensated for their expenses and services); or

3. You're paying off a car loan or catching up with mortgage payments, which you can't generally do in Chapter 7.

To be clear, there are any number of reasons that you may have elected to file for Bankruptcy under Chapter 13. But the best way to determine what the Chapter 13 is accomplishing is to contact your attorney instead of strangers on the internet. Just my two cents.

Good luck with your case!
