MLGW Utility Bills Bankruptcy

Memphis Light Gas and Water bills are often the reason that people file either Chapter 7 bankruptcy  or Chapter 13 bankruptcy .  If you decide to have your utility services reconnected by filing either type of bankruptcy , MLG & W will close out your old account, and start a new one.  However, they will charge a reconnect deposit, which can be between $150 and $300, and add this to your new bill.  If you are currently in a bankruptcy and make a new bill after you have filed a case, MLG & W will not allow this bill to be added to your bankruptcy .  Also, if the utility bill has been incurred as a result of a “diversion” or stealing services, these charges cannot be paid through your Chapter 13 bankruptcy  plan, and MLG & W will fight the ability to discharge these bills.  You will need to contact a customer service representative at MLG & W to set up arrangements to pay these charges.

Car Repossession

If your car has been repossessed , and has not been sold at auction, it is possible to get the car returned by the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy .  This process can take up to two weeks, but most reputable finance companies will return the vehicle within a few days after the filing.  They sometimes want their expenses, such as  car repossession fees and storage fees, paid in order to get the vehicle returned.  However, many will return the car once they have received the notice of the filing of a bankruptcy , and will add the expenses to their claim with the Court.  Quite often, your monthly payment  and interest rates can be reduced by the filing of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy .  If you do not want your car returned, you can eliminate any balance that you owe by the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy  case, and also wipe out other debt.
