A car? A house? -- Frieda, Illinois Dear Frieda: I know of no ongoing restrictions once a Chapter 7 filing has been completed. I suppose you can own anything that you can pay for or for which you can get a loan. The problem is that the bankruptcy will be reported on your credit report for 10 years. You will have a hard time qualifying for loans at rates you can afford, because your credit score will be trashed. There are restrictions for how much of what you own you can keep once the bankruptcy filing has been completed. Each state has its own bankruptcy laws, so you need to check with your state for details. Don't be surprised to find that everything you own going into bankruptcy is subject to liquidation to pay your creditors. I need to tell you that it is a fed- eral crime to lie about what you own, to hide assets or to attempt to shield anything of value from the bankruptcy court. If after complet- ing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy you suddenly have the means to buy a car or a house with money that you temporarily gave to someone else to hold for you or that you conve- niently buried in the backyard, you may want to pack your bags. You will be found out, and you'll be headed for a nice long stay in prison, where people who commit bankruptcy fraud go. Dear Mary: For years, we have paid on a mortgage, and I would like to know whether there is a place that I can check my pay- ments against the mort- gage company's figures to verify their accuracy. - - R.W.F., e-mail Dear R.W.F.: You should receive a state- ment each month that shows your outstanding principal, as well as the amount of interest you have paid for the year. If, instead, you have a book of payment coupons, each one should show how your payment will be applied to interest and the principal. If you have nei- ther and receive only a year-end accounting, pick up the phone and call the company that services your mortgage. Request that a current accounting be sent to you by mail. Or find out whether the company has a website where you can have access to your mortgage account. This is information to which you are legally entitled, so don't be timid. Speak up! Dear Mary: I'm looking for a home solution or product to help clean my microfiber sofa and lounge chair. Any sugges- tions? -- Floyd, e-mail Dear Floyd: Mary Hunt Everyday Cheapskate Microfiber is a fabulous product for upholstery because it is so soft and looks like fine suede. But it can be very tricky to clean. The problem is creating permanent water rings. That's why I never would tackle this myself. I would have a profes- sional clean my microfiber-covered furni- ture. If you are braver than I, there is a fine tuto- rial on eHow. Simply go to the website and type "microfiber" in the search box to find it. Do you have a question for Mary?

Tehama County homeless census set Monday their efforts countywide. Volunteers are needed to help the Tehama Coun- ty Continuum of Care who will be conducting an annual countywide homeless count on Monday, Jan. 24. Volunteers will work side by side with expert homeless service providers. They will drive and walk through assigned routes from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. The goal is to canvass the entire service terri- tory and seek individuals and families who have challenges securing permanent housing. WHY DO HOMELESS COUNT? The providers of homeless services in local counties regularly seek grant funding from state and federal agencies and private funders to support This “Point In Time” count of the county’s homeless population helps to confirm the need for these funds, and can be used to adjust services needs as appropriate. HOW CAN I HELP? Help the homeless community by volunteering for the street count scheduled for Monday, Jan. 24. Volunteers are needed to actively participate in the process for counting homeless individuals and families on the street. Your participation is critical to the success of this countywide effort. If you are interested in volunteering and receiving scheduled training call Gail Locke at 527-5290 or send an email to glocke@snowcrest.net.
