What if the debt is incurred after the bankruptcy filing but before the bankruptcy discharge?

When an individual files for bankruptcy, he/she must list down all the creditors and debts that they have. If the bankruptcy has already been filed and the individual has incurred new debt but has not yet been discharged by bankruptcy, that new debt is not included in the bankruptcy discharge. For an official opinion, it is advised you seek legal counsel. It is really important to seek legal advice from the expert about filing for bankruptcy.

What does a bankrupt discharge?

The chapter 7 discharge order eliminates a debtor's legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, but not all, types of debts are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed. (If this case was begun under a different chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and converted to chapter 7, the discharge applies to debts owed when the bankruptcy case was converted.) Some of the common types of debts which are not discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case are: a. Debts for most taxes; b. Debts that are in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support; c. Debts for most student loans; d. Debts for most fines, penalties, forfeitures, or criminal restitution obligations; e. Debts for personal injuries or death caused by the debtor's operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated; f. Some debts which were not properly listed by the debtor; g. Debts that the bankruptcy court specifically has decided or will decide in this bankruptcy case are not discharged; j. Debts for which the debtor has given up the discharge protections by signing a reaffirmation agreement in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code requirements for reaffirmation of debts.

Can you file bankruptcy 3 times?

Currently, there are no limits to the amount of times you can file for bankruptcy or the time frame between each filing. However, if you file too soon you are less likely to be eligible for "discharge." It is suggested by most to wait at least seven years between each filing in order to qualify for discharge.

Can I renew my life insurance license after bankruptcy in PA?

Bankruptcy will not prevent you from renewing your insurance license. When your license is renewed, one of the administrative action or sanction questions will cover bankruptcy and require you to answer "yes". This will immediately flag your renewal application to require legal documentation. After the renewal has been submitted, you or your compliance service provider will need to submit the proper legal documentation about the bankruptcy to the department(s) of insurance for review. Failure to supply the proper documentation can result in the rejection or expiration of the application resulting in license cancellation. The cancellation could then result in fines and administrative actions. Producers who receive administrative actions, fines, sanctions or file for bankruptcy are required to notify the departments of insurance in all states where they hold active licenses within 30 days. Failure to report these actions may result in further administrative actions including fines and license revocation.
