This is actually a question for your attorney but here is a direction.

Ask your attorney if the home equity loan was included in your bankruptcy, did you complete all the payments you agreed to in the bankruptcy. I am guessing that if you filed for BK the bank probably did not let you use any unused portion of the line.

Look into refinancing your home equity line of credit they are usually not fixed and can go up as much as once every 30 days. Right now the projections for the prime rate is to increase as much as 1/2 to 3/4 to 7.25 by the end of this year.

If there is no equity in the home, then the lien is discharged in bankruptcy making it an insecured debt.
