Can chapter 13 be filed after chapter 7 is dismissed to save your home?

Yes, but you need to find out if there is a 180 day filing bar. (Yes automatically if there was a Motion for Relief from Stay).
If the case was dismissed without the filing bar and without prejudice, then you can refile immediately.

∙ 18y agoSo long as you are eligible for a Chapter 7 discharge and the bankruptcy court did not specifically order you not to refile a new bankruptcy, you should be able to file a new Chapter 7 right away. Because of the recent changes in the law, plese consult with a bankruptcy attorney before making any decisions.

∙ 13y agoYes. A lot of debtors have trouble staying with the strict budget guidelines given to them in a chapter 13 bankruptcy. For that reason you can file for chapter 7 one time after a failed attempt at a Chapter 13. I would look into the differences between the two as it may be larger than meets the eye.

∙ 13y agoYes, but it's sketchy. Each jurisdiction handles it slightly differently.
You'll have to ask for the Court to continue/reinstate the stay. The automatic stay is only good for 30 days on a subsequent filing after dismissal of a Chapter 13 case in the year prior.
You should probably make sure that the case is filed in good faith (that your new Plan has a chance to succeed) and that there was a reason why the 1st filing didn't work out.
If you filed by yourself the 1st time, hiring a lawyer the 2nd time is a good move. It gives the new filing more credibility, which can be helpful.
This is not legal advice. It is general information. Consult an attorney in your jurisdiction for advice specific to your case.

∙ 19y agoYes. There is no time limit for filing a Chapter 13. Due to changes in bankruptcy statutes, undoubtly more consumer's will have to file a 13.

∙ 14y agoNo. You can only have one bankruptcy proceeding at a time. You can convert the 13 to a 7.

Can you dismiss a current chapter 13 if your wages have been cut?
You can dismiss a chapter 13 at anytime for any reason under the bankruptcy rules. Bear in mind that there may be reasons why you filed the chapter 13 in the first place. For example to save a house that was in foreclosure or because you filed a chaptert 7 previously and were not eligible to file another one. So if you need to stay in the chapter 13 amd your wage situation is just temporary, you might be able to suspend or halt the trustee payments for anywhere from one to four months. Check with your attorney or trustee on how to do this. Additionally, if you are otherwise eligible, you may just want to convert your chapter 13 to a chapter 7 bankruptcy and receive your discharge now. So, depending on your needs and circumstances, you can dismiss your case, suspend the payment or convert it.
