Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.
is it safe to file for voluntary dismissal of chapter 13 bankruptcy
if your still in chapter 7 you have to get out first but you can file again check the laws in you state on chapter 7. laws has chang.
How soon after filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, can you file either Chapter 13 or Chapter 7 Banruptcy again?
If you are facing some serious financial issues, you may consider filing for chapter 13 bankruptcy protection. If you do file keep in mind that there is no limit to the amount of times you can refile for the same protection.
If you are referring to a chapter 20 (chapter 7 + chapter 13), then yes it is possible. The BK court doesnt differentiate between the types of debts (i.e. taxes, mortgages, medical debt, or credit cards) so you cannot file a chapter 7 for personal debt, and then expect to be allowed to file a chapter 7 for medical debt soon after.
YES, its called an AUTOMATIC STAY. ALL collection efforts must stop as soon as they are notified of your filing.
This will be considered an asset. You cannot file bankruptcy if you have a number of assets that can be used to pay your creditors. Depending on the amount of the settlement, you should wait years to file bankruptcy.
Your bankruptcy attorney can answer your question.
one year.
Sometimes, a debtor who cannot meet the obligations of the payment plan imposed by Chapter 13 Bankruptcy may wish to switch to Chapter 7. This can be done once for any reason, without court approval. However, to switch back, approval of the bankruptcy court is required, and they will rarely allow a debtor to make multiple switches. Note that in switching from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7, much of your property is now up for grabs to be sold off to pay your debts. However, if you cannot make the payments under a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, switching to Chapter 7 may be your only option.
I think chapter 7 bankruptcy at least take 5 to 6 years to clear the bankruptcy so its automatically remain on your name for those years.You will get your property only after this case is complete.
Always file for bankruptcy as soon after getting a large sum of money as you can.
