arguments in defense of 523(a)
Posted: Fri Apr 15, 2005 9:12 am
Just wondering what successful arguments you all have come up with to thwart a 523(a)(2) action where the particular debt is one which debtor balance transferred a large amount a couple months prior to filing bankruptcy onto a new card. Historically, debtor had been making payments for years and trying to take advantage of lower (or zero) interest rates, but finally concluded he had to file BK because he couldn't keep this up forever. Of course, the last creditor doesn't know all this history and doesn't care, so they are filing a 523.
Is debtor dead in the water?
