Do I have to still make credit card payments after paying a lawyer for bankruptcy? -

I filed for bankruptcy about a month ago, and paid him in full last week for chapter 7. Well my bills for my loans and credit cards are due again and I m wondering do I still have to pay them since i already paid my lawyer and filled out all the paperwork for the chapter 7. Or do I just let it ride until he does whatever it is he does?

Be careful! Make sure you get advice from a professional in the bankruptcy field. You don t want to make any mistakes that can ruin your credit for years to come. Try calling a bankruptcy lawyer to make sure you understand the options. http://www.bankruptcylawyersite.com

Have you received a notice of quot;DISCHARGEquot; yet? Until you are quot;dischargedquot; of your debts you will continue to receive credit card and loan bills. Let it ride because your credit will be shredded because of the bankruptcy anyway and it will not matter that you did not pay the bills until receiving your quot;dischargequot;.

If you filed chapter 7 you are free from your obligations however some things may go back. Credit card purchases, car, and houses can be repossesed depending on your individual situation. But if all went through then no you do not owe anything, but you will need to wait a heck of a long time to see credit ever again.

You paid for a lawyer; do what he says. If the bankruptcy has been filed, he will almost certainly tell you not to pay.

You need to ask your lawyer.
