My friend's BK7

How long before the bankruptcy filing did he give you this gift?

As I said above it was three years ago, or something like that, and he made sure and promised to himself that there won't be anymore. He said if I don't have any money on me, I won't spend any, but the reality proved other way. He is diagnosed for so many year with OCD. (I didn't know that) As we see he is trying to fight his illness. I feel bad now. If I have the money, I was going to give it back to him, but momentarily I am not working.
My question: why BK trustee is after me?

because your friend informed the trustee of this gift.if you have to go to naca.net and ask a consumer attorney about this.i would think that after all you've done for him he thanks you in this way.i for one wouldn't feel the need to pay it back now.

Doesnt it depend on when the gift was given in relation to the BK? Preferential treatment??

Thank you guys. You made me feel a bit better. It hurts to see you friend suffering and yet, somehow it's my fault ( at least in a trustee's eyes)

Sorry, but I am not getting you SOAPLADY: I explained very well how and when happen. I believe no one wants to go through HELL with the BK and all... but uncontrolled circumstances, sometimes, take the best out of us. (in this case it was his illness, which no one seems to care) I hope you donate a little bit of your time to different charities, as I do, trying to understand the majority of the population.

NO ONE WANT TO BE IN DEBT! And we all know that. My friend, never had BK before, he tried to pay his debt on time, but as CCs love to, he made minimum payments, so, his credit score could be higher. And I told him so many times: Don't listen to CC companies who are happier with minimum payments. Anyway... all of the sudden, the minimum payments doubled in the beginning of 2008 year, and here he is know. For 30+ years he paid minimum, and made the CC companies happier... but now... no one cares. He is filled with "shame" and somehow he said, it is his fault, because certain interests want him to feel that way and they are doing pretty good job, as you see.

ok.....what I am reading is he gave you the gift 2-3 years ago and NOW the trustee is coming after you?? Am I correct? From my understanding gifts and whatnot older than a certain time cannot count.

Agreed. That's sounds wrong that they over going after you from something that was given to you 2-3 years ago. Get a lawyer. I think the law's on your side in this case.

Now if he gave you that money with the last 3-6 months (of his filing for BK), that would be different.

This website in one of the best one I have ever seen! Congrats! And thank you for quick response.
As you all are suggesting, I will take this situation to next level and will let you know the outcome.
Again, keep up the great work!
