Should you pay off your car prior to filing a bankruptcy?

Should you pay off your car even if you're not contemplating bankruptcy?

If you're in bankruptcy, and circumstances change, should you dismiss your case, or convert to another chapter in bankruptcy? Can you even do that?

I think I got my sound fixed from last week's episode, proving that even veteran podcasters get mixed up from time to time but, the show must go on!

I've also got an update on the Listener Pay It Forward Program! Do you want to go to Podfest with me, for FREE (small print: you have to pay for the hotel and transportation - but your Podfest Ticket would be no charge) !! www.podfestexpo.com

I also talk about the title of today's episode - a possible increase in the automobile exemption in the state of Florida that, if passed, would raise the exemption from $1,000 to $5,000, allowing many people who file Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Florida to keep their cars!

Also, when you're in bankruptcy and circumstances change, I describe the thought process behind dismissing your case versus converting to another chapter within the bankruptcy code (typically Chapter 7 to Chapter 13, or Chapter 13 to Chapter 7).

Finally, please remember to support our long-time friend and sponsor, Sam Cohen of Attorneys First Insurance. A great referral for Sam would be an attorney or title company that you know that is just starting a new business and needs malpractice insurance, especially if that new title company or law firm is located in Florida or Texas. www.AttorneysFirst.com or [email protected].
