Legal Question in Bankruptcy in Massachusetts

Re: After discharge - What next?

Hi & Thanks for Writing -

I'm reluctant to disagree with your attorney, who has a better handle on your case than I do, but in my professional experience proof of your discharge should suffice in applying for an auto loan.

Maybe you should contact your attorney's office and tell them what you're hearing from the auto dealership, get some clarification, or better still put the auto dealership in touch with your attorney's office and let them work out the particulars.

Thanks for Writing & Good Luck!

Re: After discharge - What next?

What does your lawyer mean by "settlement papers"? That is not a term I associate with bankruptcy. That question aside, I would recommend you trust your lawyer. The dealerships want to make a sale and don't really care about the details of these things. Go over everything with your lawyer and don't hesitate to ask questions, and keep asking them until you undestand the answer. Good luck!

Re: After discharge - What next?

I can only surmise that your attorney is referring to your actual Chapter 7 discharge. In my opinion, the status of your discharge in bankruptcy can be readily ascertained. Unless there is some special requirement that you have the actual piece of paper, it should not be necessary to produce it.
