CAN MY CREDITORS PREVENT A DISCHARGE?Under limited circumstances, a creditor may be able to block abankruptcy discharge of his debt. If a creditor can prove that he gave a loan in reasonable reliance on a financial statement which was false in important details and given with the intent to deceive him, he may avoid having the debt discharged. If a creditor tries to avoid the discharge for this reason and fails, the bankruptcy judge may order the creditor to pay of the debtor's attorney fees and costs in defending the action. It is also possible for the bankruptcy court to set aside any transfer of property made to conceal ownership or to avoid having it included in the bankruptcy, or made to defraud creditors. If this happens, the court can take the property and order it sold, with the proceeds distributed to the creditors. These are just example of problems that may occasionally arise in a bankruptcy proceeding. They are among the many matters which you will discuss with your attorney. We can help you file for bankruptcy. Call 706-935-2201 now for a free consultation. |
