If your house goes back into foreclosure after you are making payments on a chapter 13 can you file pro se to stop foreclosure?

You are leaving out important information: when was the chapter 13 ended and why did it end? If the chapter 13 has not been closed or dismissed, the mortgage should not be in foreclosure unless you missed several post-petition payments and the mortgagee got relief from the automatic stay. You cannot have two bankruptcy filings open at the same time. If the chapter 13 was ended pursuant to a section of the bankruptcy code, you may be able to refile, but you may not have the benefit of the automatic stay. Consult a local bankruptcy lawyer.


In Wisconsin how long do you have wait to refile a chapter 13?

Bankruptcy is a federal procedure and court. State laws have a bearing on some issues, especially exemptions, but otherwise the rules are the same. If the Chapter 13 was dismissed for cause, you will have to wait 180 days. If it was dismissed for any other reason, you can refile any time. You may not be entitled to a discharge, however, so check with a bankruptcy lawyer and do it right.

When can you refile bankruptcy after a previous bankruptcy discharge?

That depends on your situation. If you have filed but not received discharge of debt, then you may refile immediately. If you filed for chapter 7 and received discharge of debt, then you can file eight years after discharge date for chapter 7. If filed under chapter 13 and received discharge of debt, can refile after two years for same chapter 13. http://www.jacksonwhitelaw.com/what-we-do/get-help-filing-for-bankruptcy/ If the first bankruptcy, C. 7, was dismissed for cause, you have to wait 180 days before refiling. If you file a C. 7 and get a discharge, you can file a C, 13 immediately after the 7 is closed, called a "Chapter 20" by bankruptcy lawyers who know what they are talking about.

If a chapter 13 case is dismissed for failure to obtain credit counseling prior to filing how soon can you refile?

If the case was dismissed without prejudice, you can refile at almost anytime after you get the credit counseling. However, you should exercise extreme caution when refiling the bankruptcy and you should consult an attorney before doing so. Under the new laws, there are harsher restrictions on refiling bankruptcy to prevent "serial" filings. A serial filier is someone who files case after case to avoid eviction or foreclosure. Failing to file the Certificate of Credit Counseling can be sufficient grounds to find that the first bankruptcy was not filed on good faith and could result in an early termination of the automatic stay. If you refie, it may be necessary to file a motion to extend the automatic stay. Therefore, it is very important to see a qualified bankruptcy attorney about your situation.
