<\/div>\n
If your driver license has been suspended, you can get your license back by filing for bankruptcy. Your driver license can be suspended for a number of reasons. You may have unpaid traffic tickets. You may have a judgment against you in connection with an auto accident you were in with no automobile insurance. Driver Responsibility Fees are being phased out. But some people still have these fees, which can be a major obstacle to getting back on the road.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Within one week after you file for bankruptcy, you will receive in the mail from the Bankruptcy Court your notice of hearing. This notice states who your judge is, who your trustee is, and the date and time of your meeting of creditors. For an overview of the meeting of creditors, see my article entitled \u201cWhat to Do at Your Meeting of Creditors.\u201d You take this notice to a Michigan Secretary of State\u2019s office, and your driver license will be restored within approximately two to three weeks. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Unpaid traffic tickets themselves are not dischargeable in a Chapter 7 \u201cdebt liquidation\u201d bankruptcy, but they can be repaid in a Chapter 13 \u201cdebt repayment\u201d bankruptcy. For an explanation of Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, see my article entitled, \u201cThe Difference Between Chapter 7 and Chapter 13, and Which One Is Right For You.\u201d Driver responsibility fees are dischargeable in a Chapter 7 and in a Chapter 13. A Judgment against you for an auto accident in which you had no insurance is likewise dischargeable in both Chapter 7 and Chapter 13.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Bankruptcy will not get your driver license restored if it was suspended for operating under the influence. DUI suspensions are for certain time periods, and a bankruptcy filing does not shorten those time periods. Bankruptcy will also do nothing to restore your license if it was suspended for having 12 points on your license.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The above information is a general overview and is not intended to be used as legal advice.
