How soon can you purchase a new home after filing chapter 13 bankruptcy?
You are typically off the market for about 3-4 years. At that point some mortgage companies will begin to look at your overall credit situation again, but you will have to show much credit growth and responsibility.
How soon after filing a chapter 7 can someone take out a loan to purchase a car?
It used to be with a chapter 7, that you could go out as soon as your bankruptcy was discharged and get credit. In fact, you'd get credit card offers all the time. Not so much now with the economy the way it is. You should still be able to find some sub-prime auto financing, but be prepared to pay high interest rates for a while.
If someone filed chapter 13 then converted to 7 can they refile a 13 as soon as the 7 is dismissed?
PROBABLY if one is in a Chapter 13 and that debtor converts to Chapter 7, that debtor can re-file another Chapter 13 immediately after the Chapter 7 discharge. I say "probably" rather than "yes" for a few reasons: (1) There is no Bankruptcy Code section that prevents immediate filing of a Chapter 13 after a Chapter 7, but a creditor could object to the new Chapter 13 and argue that the debtor is abusing the Bankruptcy Code, an argument the Court may or may not be swayed by based on the circumstances of the case; (2) If a debtor voluntarily dismisses a Chapter 13 once a Motion for Relief from Stay has been filed in the Chapter 13 case, that debtor is automatically barred from re-filing another Chapter 13 for 180 days (see 11 U.S.C. 109(g)(2)). So, a creditor may argue that conversion to Chapter 7 is akin to voluntary dismissal and so the debtor should be barred from filing another Chapter 13 for 180 days if a Motion for Relief was filed in the prior Chapter 13 case (and I have no idea if such an argument would work for the creditor); and (3) Different districts may have different case law affecting the answer to this question, so it's probably best to consult a lawyer in your area. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person.
