After filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, there is a required waiting period before you can refinance again. Both Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae, require a waiting period of 4 years after the dismissal date.
You can get a home after a BK. If it was a chapter 13 you can get a mortgage at any time. You can even use a refinance to buy out the BK. If it was a chapter 7, you normally need to wait 2 full years. Under certain circumstances you can buy a home after one year.
You re free to do so at any time...in fact it is encouraged...the idea of BK for you to get a fresh start and put your life - and finances - in order.
You can file chapter 7 bk. Unless you have another revenue source, you would not qualify for a chapter 13 bk because you need to have "regular income" for a 13 bk.
In a chapter 7 it is a total liquidation BK, that has been found valid and has been approved. Therefore the debtor(s) are discharged from the debt(s) that were included in the BK. A discharged BK is not the same as a closed BK. If it is a chapter 13, it indicates that the debtor(s) have fulfilled their obligation of repaying the amount to creditors that was ordered in the BK. After the trustee's audit a chapter 13 is considered closed
If the 2005 BK was a chapter 7, then no, you would only be able to file another chpt. 7 bk in 2013.
A chapter 7 should be about 3-4 months. A chapter 13 can be between 3-5 years. A BK stays on your credit report for 10 years.
If the debtor included your debt/cause of action in his BK petition, then the answer is that you can NEVER sue because said debt/cause of action was discharged in the BK.
You can file a chapter 13 bk, but NOT another chapter 7.
this may be very difficult. You might have better luck talking to your attorney and getting back into a new BK 13. After some time you may be able to refi.
Well..presuming your relationship sense is better than your financial...BK makes no difference.
A chapter 13 MIGHT work if you have the ability to keep your payments current after filing the Chapter 13 and then repaying the past due amount over a period of 3 to 5 years. You ability to find a new lender to refinance the existing loan will depending on your cash flow, equity and ability to pay. You shoulld contact mortgage broker and a bankruptcy attorney to discuss all of the options.
That type of BK is available to corporations wanting to dissolve.
