Has anyone here used not-for-profit UPSOLVE for filing bankruptcy chapter 7?

Last edited Fri Oct 18, 2024, 05:19 PM - Edit history (1)

I'm getting sued by a creditor. It looks like they will win and levy my bank accounts. I don't own any titled property and they can't garnish my SS retirement, so I need to protect myself from not being able to receive and access my SS retirement. Is this a good & legitimate service?

(Note they claim that the bank can't levy bank accounts, but I had a friend on SS who had no income for months due to the bank levy and they owed $75 for each attempted or granted levy.)




TIA.

I've done that. They want $3000 to file a chapter 7. I'm too poor to pay that kind of money. Jacson6 Oct 18 #2

He or she can answer your questions and let you know if you’re basically judgment proof or not.

Best to find someone by personal referral, if possible, rather than through advertising. If you’re in Wisconsin, I can recommend the attorney I worked for up until covid hit.

Best wishes to you. I know it’s hard and frustrating, but hopefully you can get some reassurance.
