Car & Truck Valuation - You must obtain and
list an accurate market value for all of your vehicles when you file
for bankruptcy. The following sites will provide a free market
value analysis. Edmunds.com and Kelly Blue Book are preferred
and more accurate for several reasons. First, Edmunds.com and
Kelly Blue Book provide a "private party sale" valuation. For
bankruptcy purposes, private party sale is the most accurate valuation
method. NADA does not provide a "private party sale" valuation
option. Second, Edmunds.com and Kelly Blue Book both make an allowance
for the condition of your vehicle. If your vehicle is in fair
or poor condition, both Edmunds.com and Kelly Blue Book
properly make a downward valuation adjustment to account for vehicle
condition. NADA improperly assumes that all vehicles are in "clean"
condition.

Case Information
Databases - Weber
Law Firm clients should use these sites to monitor the receipt of plan
payments and view creditor addresses, claim amounts, and important dates,
including dates set for creditor meetings and court hearings on confirmation
or dismissal. I strongly encourage all Weber Law Firm, P.C. clients to review
the plan payment information on these sites before calling the Trustee's
staff to discuss payment issues. The information on this site is the
same information viewed by the Trustee's staff. You will save a lot
of time if you determine whether your plan payment was received before
calling the Trustee's staff.

Prime Rate History Chart - This site
will tell you the prime interest rate on any given date for the previous
ten years. This is important in Chapter 13 bankruptcy cases, because
in the Southern District of Texas, the interest rate paid on many secured
claims are calculated at the prime rate plus two percent
as of the date the bankruptcy case was filed.
