Did you know that you may have unclaimed money floating out there?  In Bankruptcy, all assets must be disclosed.  But sometimes debtors are unaware that they have certain assets.  This can often come as a pleasant surprise!   The State of California maintains a website for individuals to search for the unclaimed property it has in its possession.  Currently almost 18 million Californians are unaware of the $6.1 Billion the state is presently holding in trust for them.   Simply do a search at this website and fill out the forms to make your claim!  Or, please contact us and we can do the search and forms for you.  I just sent in my request for $1000 they are holding for me!

  Did you know that when you pay off your vehicle, the lender has 15 days to send you the Pink Slip?  If you do not receive the signed off pink slip within that time, then you are entitled to $25 per day for each day over 15 days, up to a maximum of $2,500.00.   Moreover, if you then make a demand for the $25 per day and they fail to pay the same within 60 days, the amount triples, up to $7,500.00!  Additionally, you are also entitled to attorney's fees and costs!  See Vehicle Code 5753.   So if its been over 15 days since you recently completed a Chapter 13, or otherwise made your last payment to a vehicle lienholder, please contact us if you still do not have the Pink Slip!  We have recovered thousands of dollars for our clients in similar situations!

Yes you can!  Bankruptcy not only eliminates debt, but can also be a tool to recover previously garnished wages, levied monies from bank accounts, liens, and other involuntary transfers. Under 11 USC 547, property taken within 90 days of filing bankruptcy can be recovered thru the filing of an Adversary Proceeding in the Bankruptcy Court.  Generally, the value taken must be over $600, and the process usually takes about 60 to 90 days. So don't despair. Even though your money has been taken, we can usually get it back! To learn more about recovering assets siezed by creditors, please contact us.
