Jones v. Wells Fargo Scheduled For Oral Argument

By Kevin Gipson, New Orleans Bankruptcy Attorney on Apr 18, 2008 in Bankruptcy Cases & Legislation, Bankruptcy Practice and Procedure, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, General Bankruptcy Information, Lawyer to Lawyer, Louisiana

United States District Judge, Helen G. Berrigan, has scheduled oral argument of the appeal by Wells Fargo Bank in the Jones v. Wells Fargo case. Argument is set for June 25, 2008 at 9:30 a.m. in Section “C” of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana in New Orleans.

The Appeal entitled: “Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., f/k/a Wells Fargo Home v. Michael L. Jones”, No. 07-3599 is an appeal from the Eastern District of Louisiana Bankruptcy Court decision issued last year by Judge Elizabeth W. Magner sanctioning Wells Fargo for damages sustained by Jones due to the accounting practices of Wells Fargo. The decision further set forth accounting procedures to be followed by Wells Fargo in all Chapter 13 cases filed in the Eastern District of Louisiana, which procedures are summarized in another article appearing on this site.

The appeal by Wells Fargo sets forth fifteen allegations of error which can be viewed in their entirety in the attached pdf file so you can consider for yourself the merits of this appeal. Wells Fargo Specification of Errors.

- Can I Leave Selected Debts Out of my Bankruptcy Filing?
  I get this question at least once a week - "I need to file bankruptcy but I don't want to include my [mortgage] [car loan] [debt to my brother] [credit card co-signed by my company]. Let's leave this debt off my petition. (...)
- Why Tax Refunds Payable to the Chapter 13 Trustee Will Do Little to Decrease Your Plan Balance
  At least two of the three Chapter 13 trustees in the Northern District of Georgia require a Chapter 13 plan provision which provides that any tax refund payable to the debtor during the term of the debtor's plan shall be paid to the Chapter 13 trustee. These trustees will object to any plan that does not include a tax refund provision. (...)
- "Debt Settlement" vs. Bankruptcy
  Although I am a bankruptcy lawyer, I tell everyone who visits my office for a consultation the same thing: "bankruptcy is a last resort - do not file for bankruptcy unless you have no other choice. It will damage your credit and negatively affect your financial future for months or years to come." What, then, are the alternatives to bankruptcy if you are struggling with out-of-control debt?

- Have You Had Any Success in Recovering from Bankruptcy?
  I was recently interviewed by a national magazine about how my clients recover from Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Some of the tips I discussed during the interview included: asking a friend or relative to add you as an authorized user on a MasterCard or Visa opening a savings and/or checking account at a credit union and establishing a pattern of regular deposits requesting a small loan from that credit union and paying back each installment on time opening a credit account with a gasoline retailer finding a co-signer to open an unsecured credit card account I explained to the reporter that I am hearing from my clients that large credit card companies are soliciting them for cards as quickly as 6 months post discharge - no surprise in that successfully discharged debtor are a great credit risk, having no debt and no option to file bankruptcy The reporter, who is a very nice and informed gentleman, would like to speak to anyone who has had success in re-establishing credit after Chapter 7. If you would be interested in talking to this reporter, please email me using the form on this blog and I'll put you in touch with him.
- If I Do Not Reaffirm My Mortgage in Chapter 7, Do I Automatically Lose Title to my House?
  I have been getting a lot of questions recently about reaffirmation and about the consequences of not reaffirming a mortgage loan. I have previously written about the consequences of not reaffirming a mortgage debt. The 2005 BAPCPA changes to the Bankruptcy Code attempts to force debtors to choose between reaffirmation or surrender of their collateral. The trend I am sensing both here in the Northern District of Georgia and elsewhere around the country suggests that bankruptcy judges are not particularly inclined to force this issue. In cases where the debtor cannot or will not sign a reaffirmation there seems to be a judicial acceptance of the old "stay and pay" process. (...)
