Bankruptcy payment plan Raleigh right now? If you have negative equity in the rental property, real estate, house or home or a bad mortgage rate you may want to allow the home to go back in a foreclosure and live in it rent-free while it is in foreclosure. You can save up those mortgage payments and then use them as a down payment later when you can finance a home. If you let a home go back to the bank in Chapter 7, it will take about 2 months to 5 years before you will have to move (due to the length of time it takes to foreclose and sell the house). This time is spent rent free in your home while the foreclosure happens, and you will owe no deficiency balance because of your bankruptcy filing! (Please note that you are responsible for any property taxes and HOA dues that are incurred after your bankruptcy case is filed and while the property deed is still in your name.) Then 2 years after a discharge in bankruptcy or 3 years after the foreclosure sale you may be able to purchase a home at the current prime interest rate! Many people qualify for a sub-prime mortgage the day after a bankruptcy.
Harvest Your Capital Losses: If you own stocks that have lost money, you can sell them and deduct up to $3,000 on your federal taxes. Just be careful not to violate the wash-sale rule, which would disallow the deduction. This rule states you cannot purchase the same or a substantially similar stock within 30 days before or after the sale. “Some people think it’s OK if I do it using two accounts,” Zollars says. They may think they can sell a stock from a taxable account and then immediately purchase similar securities in an IRA. However, this is not allowed. “That’s not the way the rule works,” he says.
Can you stop wage garnishment? Typically, the debts that can cause wage garnishment for employees in North Carolina-based businesses are tax debt, child support, and alimony. If the business is entierly in NC, Only the government can garnish wages. It gets a bit more complicated for businesses that have offices in other states. A bankruptcy filing will stop all garnishment (with a few exceptions) ASAP! A Chapter 7 bankruptcy can get rid of most, and a Chapter 13 can spread the payments that can’t be discharged over a 3-5 years. See more information on family-run bankruptcy law office Raleigh.
Student loan interest paid by you or someone else: In the past, if parents or someone else paid back a student loan incurred by a student, no one got a tax break. To get a deduction, the law said that you had to be both liable for the debt and actually pay it yourself. But now there’s an exception. You may know that you might be eligible to take a deduction but even if someone else pays back the loan, the IRS treats it as though they gave you the money, and you then paid the debt. So, a student who’s not claimed as a dependent can qualify to deduct up to $2,500 of student loan interest paid by you or by someone else.

Surrender the property – Give the property back to the creditor (“surrender”) and have the debt discharged. If you choose to surrender property, you generally must comply within 45 days of filing your Statement of Intention (which is generally filed as part of your bankruptcy petition). Creditors will generally contact you to facilitate return of collateral, and many times it is not worth their effort to collect the property. If you are surrendering a car, however, we do recommend that you contact the creditor and make arrangements to drop off the vehicle.
