To protect our client’s rights, we can also utilize the bankruptcy code to protect creditors’ interests by:
Objection to Plan: If a debtor files bankruptcy and fails to list you in the plan or places a value way lower than your collateral's value on the loan, then we will file an objection to plan and attend a hearing on this matter if it cannot be resolved with the debtor’s attorney and trustee.
Relief from stay: We will challenge the automatic stay granted to debtors that automatically stops lawsuits and other collection activity against the debtor the moment a bankruptcy petition is filed. This is often used to have an automobile or other valuable collateral returned to the creditor so it can be sold pursuant to law.
We represent creditors in 341 meetings: Section 341 of the Bankruptcy Code establishes parameters where a debtor is questioned under oath by creditors about their financial affairs. This is sometimes called a creditors’ meeting.
Non-dischargeable actions: Certain debts cannot be eliminated in bankruptcy– including home mortgages, debts for alimony or child support, certain taxes, debts arising from death or personal injury caused by DUI. Some debts, such as debts for money or property obtained by false pretenses and debts for fraud or defalcation while acting in a fiduciary capacity may be declared nondischargeable only if a creditor timely files a non-dischargeable action.
Adversary proceeding: If appropriate under Fed. R. Bankr. P. 7001, we can challenge the discharge or existence of certain debts by filing a lawsuit. Additionally, we can pursue pending litigation even if a party has declared bankruptcy.
Preference litigation: If a debtor satisfied another business’s debts within 90 days of filing for bankruptcy, that business may be subject to preference litigation, which means that business can be brought into the bankruptcy proceeding. We can bring these businesses into the case which gives the creditor more monetary compensation than the creditor would receive in the debtor’s Chapter 7 case.
Lien avoidance: We can challenge the debtor’s attempts to remove lien encumbrances from property during bankruptcy and can enforce the creditors’ right to take and hold or sell the property of a debtor as security or payment for a debt or duty.
Bankruptcy reclamation: During bankruptcy, creditors have a certain period to collect property sold to a debtor. We can help in obtaining this property.
