Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Florida
In 2009 my husband and I were renting a property and we had a fire, we didn't have renters insurance and the landlords insurance company are suing us for damages of $110,000. We live on one income, paycheck to paycheck, we don't own we still rent, we have an auto loan of $7,500, credit card with a $4500 balance and a couple of storecards with less than $300 each on them. We don't own any property or land, our sole car that we have is financed and is a 2007 Saturn Aura, we have no savings but my husband does have a pension and a 401k. The insurance company are wanting to settle and have asked our attorney if he thinks we are collectible, he had a conversation with my husband yesterday and is calling us back tomorrow for an update I have an appt to see a bankruptcy attorney next week but have been unable to speak directly to any without making an appt for a consultation. Any advice would be greatly appreciated as I am so stressed over this and have done nothing but cry over the last 24 hours with the worry over all of this.

The zip code lets me know that you are in the same area as me. I give free bankrutpcy consultations over the phone, and you can call me. I have also written a very helpful pamphlet that lets you know all about chapter 7 bankruptcy.
It sounds as if you and your husband are good candidates for bankruptcy. With a lawsuit for $110,000 against you, it may be your only option to wipe out the lawsuit and the potential judgment against you. Our firm handles a lot of bankruptcy cases. We have a satellite office in Winter Park. We offer a free consultation and would be happy to discuss things over the phone rather than in person if that's preferable to you.
