Hello,
Approx 4 mos ago i did two balance transfers from a credit card to a student line of credit (i did this b/c my co-signer couldnt get financed for a car w the debt). The 2 transfers total just over 9k. once he got his car, i was going to transfer the debt back to the credit line, but he went into the bank, paid the remaing 200dollar balance, said he didnt want to be co-signer anymore. The bank froze acct, and said i needed a new co-signer to use the credit line. i couldnt find one, so acct got closed.
My monthly payments are now too much on my cc. i have about 23k unsecured debt. my income is social assistance bc i am a single mother of twins.
If i file for bankruptcy will those transfers be preferential payments? What if 160days has passed? Could my ex-friend get into trouble? or be responsible for those balance transfers? How often do creditors object? is my case likely to lead to objections or further headache?
thank you
