Questions regarding Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

My husband went into Court for a debt that his co. owed. He had to close the co. about 1-1/2 yrs. ago at the time of the hearing. The bill was Southwestern Bell Yellow Pages. He filed a General Denial. The Judge would not listen to anything he had to say simply because he did not have the wording exactly correct on the Gen. Den. A Judgment was issued against him (& I guess the co.-which was not incorporated) for about $1,500 plus the atty fees. making it close to $2,000. We cannot pay this. He now got a letter for a hearing for Motion for Receivership and Alternatively. We do not know what this means - what does this mean? The atty has called & left messages that he wants to work out a pay plan. We have no money - we are even thinking about filing bankruptcy. We cannot even pay our necessary monthly bills. He does not even feel he owes this money to SWB. He had cancelled the ads and closed the business. What do we do? No one will listen to his side.

Re: Questions regarding Chapter 7 & Chapter 13 Bankruptcy

I would strongly suggest you file Chapter 7 bankruptcy and eliminate this debt. It would help you financially and also emotionally. PLEASE READ MY FIRM PHILOSHOPY! Since the debt was for an unincorporated business it would be included as a debt to be granted a "discharge" (bankruptcy term which means eliminate) Please feel free to call me to personally discuss your case. ph.
