Will Bankruptcy Affect My Retirement Money?

Will Bankruptcy Affect My Retirement Money?

I’m being sued? Can I file for bankruptcy?

The caller sounded panicked:  “I’m so sorry I waited to call you.  And it’s probably too late to  do anything.  But I am being sued.  What do I do next?”

I don’t want to pay anyone back

I met with a nice, hardworking, married mother of three young children today.  She and her  husband own a modest house in a good neighborhood with a mortgage.They have an older  pickup truck and a not­-so-new SUV, both with reasonable payments.  Both husband and wife  are working now, though the husband’s prior unemployment had put them behind the eight ball  financially:  They have almost $75,000 in unsecured credit consisting of loans and credit cards.   They are not paying the debt at this time, and they are being hounded.      Since they are not paying the debt, I was curious as to how much money was coming into  the household every month.  The total is over $6000 net, that means after all the deductions that  come out of their paychecks for taxes, insurance, and retirement. I know what you are thinking:  Over $6,000.00?  That is a lot of money.  So I looked at their  typical monthly expenses, not including the credit cards and loans above.  And it turns out that  after those typical expenses, there is about $600.00 per month left over to pay on this debt.  Of  course, the minimum monthly payment on these debts was over $1,500.00 per month, so there was  no way that they could afford to pay anywhere near that.        After reviewing the numbers with them, I gave them an option:  how about filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?   Under Chapter 13 bankruptcy, we could get those payments down to $600.00 per month, a savings of $900.00  per month from the $1,500. 00. It would also save them tens of thousands of dollars over the course  of the five year plan.  What a wonderful idea!  At least, I thought so. …
