Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Alabama

Bankruptcy...

I filed Chapter 7 in 2003. I had a judgement for an unsecured loan against me and was getting a sizeable wage garnishment before hand. Due to a nasty divorce...I paid back $11,000 on an $8000 loan. Anyway, the debtor put a lien on my house at the time (I was'nt aware of). Apparently, they did'nt get a ''motion of something'' and did'nt roll it into the bankruptcy. No word of this was ever sent to me, so when I sold my house, it surfaced. The title lawyer supposedly got the correct paperwork, and my house has been sold. Now, I'm getting phone calls from a debt collector lawyer saying I stll owe this money. Is there a way I am still responsible for a debt that was in the bankruptcy for a lien on a house that has been sold? Please let me know anything you can...Thank you...Chris

Re: Bankruptcy...

Contact YOUR bankruptcy attorney. If something can be done it will happen in YOUR bankruptcy case. If the debt was discharged in bankruptcy you can sue the creditor/debt collector.

Chris,

I think I can help, but from your initial description it sounds like it will be rather complicated and I will need to review several different documents. Please feel free to call or email me to set up an appointment for a free consultation. I believe I can help, but right now, I still have a lot more questions, than answers
