No, unfortunately you can not get a home equity to pay off your bankruptcy but there are other alternatives to pull yourself out off that situation and give yourself some financial room to breathe. Check with a certified credit counseling agency to get the best advice. In general if you can, reduce all expenses for clothing, food, cell phone, internet, and any other utilities as much as you can to pay this off faster. Take the bus and save on car expenses.

Can you take out a home equity loan without equity in your house?

A home equity loan is a mortgage based on the value of your home that exceeds any outstanding mortgages. Your equity is the value of your home that is actually paid for. If your home is fair market valued at $100,000 and there is an outstanding mortgage in the amount of $40,000 then you have $60,000 in equity. However, note that due to costs, fees and fluctuating home values a lender will generally not loan the full amount of equity but something less than the fair market difference. In your case, having no equity in the home means that you have nothing to offer the lender as collateral and the lender has no reason to loan you any money. No equity means no home equity loan.
