Surrendered Property and Taxes


What is the name of your state?What is the name of your state? Texas
I surrendered a piece of property in my chapter 13 bankruptcy. After it was confirmed I continued to receive tax statements from the county and school district. Before long I started getting delinquent tax letters from their attorney. My attorney sent a couple of letters to their attorney but the letters continued. My bankruptcy is now discharged but the statements continue.
I sent a letter to their attorney and to the county March, 31, 2005 but got no reply from either. The other day I received two more delinquent tax statements from the county and school district. What can I do to get them to stop?
Thanks

What happened to the property ?
Did you surrender it to the Trustee or to the lender ?

Were any back taxes owed that were being paid thru your plan ?

Surrendered Property


According to the plan the property was surrendered to the creditor and any deficiency balance was to be treated as a general unsecured claim.

There were no back taxes owed being paid thru the plan. I'm fairly certain that all taxes were paid up to date when we filed.

The statements that I receive are usually for the current tax year. It's like the taxing authority was never notified that I no longer own the property.

Yes, it sure sounds like they have no clue the bank got the property back.

You need to write them a letter with whatever proof you have that the creditor took the property back long ago as well as the record of your BK and subsequent discharge. They need a wake-up call.
