We were told that we need to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy. We spoke with an attorney 4 months ago and at that time is when he suggested a Chapter 13. He then told us not to pay anyone anymore. We have $14,000 in unsecured debt. We have a home which it looks like we will be surrendering it as it is under water and our mortgage is high. We also have a condo occupied by a family member and will probably move into that as soon as the family member relocates as that is what she requested. We are approximately 3 months behind on the payments and almost $7,000.00 behind on the hoa's. We have one car that is free and clear and a van that we owe approximately $24,000.00 on. We have a personal injury settlement coming for $10,000.00 and was told that had to go into our bankruptcy. We feel we can handle the debt as our business is starting to pick up. That is how we got behind. Our business income had dropped drastically. We have a case number XXXXX haven't met with the bankruptcy judge yet. We feel we can negotiate with the bank that holds the mortgage on the condo. Can we back out?
