I helped my girlfriend file a year ago and it was relativly simple.  I've since learned that the laws were changed (and few people know because Iraq/Elections/Missing Persons were the only national headlines.  It' supposed to be exceedingly difficult now, especially if you have any assets that most people would consider protected. \n\nI'll see if I can find some more.\n\n\nMore: "WASHINGTON - The most sweeping rewrite of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in a quarter- century, making it harder for debtors to erase credit card and other obligations in court proceedings, goes into effect Oct. 17.\n\nAmong the changes made by the new law:\n\n* It sets up a new test for measuring a debtor's ability to repay. People with insufficient assets or income can still file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, which if approved by a judge erases debts entirely after certain assets are forfeited. But those with income above their state's median income who can pay at least $6,000 over five years - $100 a month - will be forced into Chapter 13, under which a judge orders a repayment plan.\n\nIn calculating income, people filing for bankruptcy may deduct various expenses as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, including food and clothing, and some health and disability insurance expenses.\n\n* People seeking bankruptcy protection are required to take credit counseling courses within 180 days of filing.\n\n* It gives priority to a spouse's claims for child support among creditors' claims on a debtor in bankruptcy.\n\n* The law allows for special accommodations for active-duty service members, low-income veterans and those with serious medical conditions in the new income test for bankruptcy applicants.\n\n* The law supersedes the unlimited homestead exemptions in states including Florida, Iowa, Kansas, South Dakota and Texas that allow wealthy people to file for bankruptcy and keep their mansions sheltered from creditors. The law limits the exemption to $125,000 if the person in bankruptcy bought his or her residence less than three years and four months before filing.\n\n* It also requires billing statements for credit card accounts to include an example of how long it would take to pay off a balance at a specific interest rate if only minimum payments are made.\n\nThe law also makes it tougher for businesses that file for bankruptcy protection:\n\n* The law limits the exclusivity period, the 18-month span during which a company in Chapter 11 has the sole right to propose a reorganization plan. Debtor companies are no longer given unlimited extensions of the exclusivity period.\n\n* It limits the ability of companies to give lucrative pay packages as a way of retaining top executives.\n\n* Companies must decide within 210 days, or seven months whether they will keep or relinquish leases on property.\n\n* Creditors can seek to have a Chapter 7 liquidation filing dismissed or converted to a debt reorganization plan under Chapter 11. "\n\n\nBest of Luck,\n\nArmus

The best advice I have for you is to call your attorney!!!  However, it is possible to change your plan payments, especially if there have been changes in your income or expenses (like higher utility and gas prices) The attorney who filed for you should be able to assist you with this.  And they can usually just put their additional fee for changing things back into the plan.  \nOr, you could do what I did.  I asked for a three month waiver of payments to get me back on my feel when gas prices were really bad.  I went through my attorney to do this, but have heard of people going directly through the trustee as well.  Contact your attorney or the trustee on how to go about doing this.  You will have to extend your plan for how many months you asked for the waiver though.  But that extra money can really help you get caught up. \nWith the new bankruptcy laws, if you can afford to pay at least 100 dollars a month in payments, then the courts will not let you file Chapter 7.  Therefore, you may not be able to convert your Chapter 13 to Chapter 7.  So, your best bet would be to ask for the restructuring of your payments or for the waiver.\nIf you try to restucture you payment plan, make sure you list everything you spend money on in your budget.  Include at least 200-300 a month in food for a single person.  Also include all expenses for over the counter medications, pet supplies and pet doctor expenses (if you own a pet), estimated amount you will spend on car upkeep and repair, estimated amount on gas for your car, entertainment, cable, cell phone, internet fees, house repairs, clothing and ect.  Always estimate to the highest, but don't out and out lie because that would be a crime.  I took what each of these things would cost me in a year and divided it by 12 for my monthly amount.  My hubby and I make around 55,000 a year and only have to pay around 300 bucks a month into our plan!!!

I've done bankruptcy for years for clients; the website is slick, but I've never heard of these people, and I'm in Texas.  Check them with the Better Business Bureau and the State Bar of Texas -

I would file tommorow if I was you, once they get a judgement you cant include them in your bankruptsy. I just filed in october and it was over in march. I downloaded the forms from gov.org website and did it myself, I filed it myself and included a form to ask the court for a payment plan for the court costs which were $187.00, to be made in payments. We filed chapter 7, and because we didnt have more than 25% equity in our home we got to keep it. We wernt behind on that bill. So we just keep on paying it like usuall. We got to keep one car for each of us. Both were already paid off. My husband had one judgement that was not allowed to be discharged. And our home equity loan and mortgage was not entered as a discharge, because we are still able to pay for that. We got $69,000 dollars worth of debts discharged (meaning we don't have to pay them)The day you file, you have to pay $50 dollars toward the total if you file the form asking for the payment plan. The forms are kinda hard to understand at first.The packet is about 20 pages. One ask to list all secured debts, which are home loans or car loans. And then you list all your unsecured debts on one page meaning credit cards and hospital bills and the like with all the totals and names and addresses of the debtors, and then a page to list your income and what your personal assets are like jewlery, art work etc. Just work one page at a time, you can do it. But work fast before the judgement, and don't tell them you are doing it. The day you file you and get a number you are protected from them harrassing you, calling you or sueing you. The papers are free to download of the government web page. You have to decide which one to file chapter 7, 11, 13 depending on you particular circumstances. 7 is total and if you own more that 25% equity in a home they can sell the home to satisfy the debtors. 13 is a repayment plan I think. And state to state has different rules. Now you have to have credit counciling to, I think. The second web site has the forms free to download and the rules of the credit counciling and a listing of the individual states that you would live in. I hope this has helped you. Remember the law was set up for you to help you, when you cant pay the bills. Dont let anyone shame you. Its your right to file..

That means thanks to president bush's new law the chapter 13 will not confirm the bankruptcy because for whatever reason he/she feels you have the means (money) to repay your unsecured debt! Now you will go into court before the chapter 13 trustee, and file for 13 instead of 7 or 11! This means additional attorney fees, trustee gets paid a fee too (of course), as well as months more of your time spent in a court room. Thank God we elected Bush! He has screwed up so many areas of our judicial system. Look at his brainstorm idea working for Medicare's drug plan.

It all depends.  Are you asking for the # of reversals for the 9th Circuit (which can be obtained from westlaw.com) or the # of writs filed?
