>>>Can the bancruptcy judge force them to sell their jewelry, jet skis, boats, RVs motorcycles and SUVs, cancel the cable TV, wireless phones and internet access and FORCE them into a lifestyle that enables them to pay back the debts they've already run up?<<<
No, but what happens if you owe the IRS? Probably something like that... Besides that, when you are up to your ears in hawk, a judge need not force you to sell your toys. The circumstances at hand will determine that for you when scrambling for cash. Going BK and/or Foreclosure can be a traumatic experience...
