What can you lose in bankruptcy?

This is largely dependent on the chapter of bankruptcy that you're filing under. Is it for an individual? Is it for a business or a corporation. I will take the most common type of bankruptcy-Chapter 7-for an example. Under Chapter 7, the bank is technically allowed to take personal assets and property and liquidate it/them in an attempt to pay back debtors. But there are a number of exemptions and for many people, they do not lost personal items after filing for Chapter 7. Common exemptions when filing for bankruptcy include tools of the trade-such as a car that is used to commute to and from work-and clothing under a certain dollar amount. The article below lists many of the possible exemptions for different chapters.

How long after a chapter 7 bankruptcy can someone get a car lease?

You can get a car lease immediately after filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Since it would be a post-petition debt, there is no waiting period provided that you qualify income wise. Some lenders may require you to have a discharge, however, it is not required under the law to lease post-filing.


Can you keep your paid off can worth 12000.00 and IRA when filing bankruptcy?

Not if its a chapter 7 BK; there is too much equity (value) in the car (since most vehicle exemptions are about $3,000 or lower. If filing chapter 13, it might be possible to keep the car. But if its a chapter 7, it is highly likely that the car would be seized and sold off by the BK trustee to pay off your creditors, or make you pay the difference between the car value and car exemption. (and before you ask- NO, do NOT sell your car to friends/family/neighbors, etc... for a $1)
