What else can I help you with?
Can you repay a relative after bankruptcy even if the indebtedness to them was discharged?
You can voluntarily repay any creditor whose debt was discharged. Do not enter into a payment plan, or make regular payments, or you may reinstate the debt.Bankruptcy only prevents the creditor from taking any action to collect the debt. It does not prevent you from paying.
If you are willing to make payments on a debt can a collection agency refuse the payments and continue to harass you?
A collection agency is not hired to get the amount paid in payments they are paid to get the amount in full. At this point the place you originally owed the money to and did not pay may or may not be willing to take payments being that they have now hired the collection agency to get the money from you. YOu can call the original creditor and tell them you are willing to pay and if they say no then you must pay the collection agency, I have never heard of any of them taking payments. When they get hired they try to collect as much as possible of the owed amount so they can get a higher commission. They dont want payments they want money in full....
How long can debt collectors collect in Pennsylvania?
There is no limitation on how long a bill collector has to attempt to collect a debt. The statute of limitations on taking legal action is another matter. Even if your bill is old, and no longer shows on your credit report, a bill collector can still attempt to collect it from you. If it's over the statute of limitations, they would not be able to collect in court, but they are not prohibited from contacting you for payment. Refer to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) for more information on the Federal law governing collection activity.
Can a creditor take you to arbitration after your bankruptcy has been discharged?
No, the court discharge of the debt means it no longer exists! The filing of the bankruptcy prohibited every creditor from taking any action to collect (other than those required to the bankruptcy court). Of course, you had to handle your BK properly, and list all your creditors and all your assets, etc....if not you have lied to the court and they don't look at that too well.

Can a creditor take you to court ten years after taking you before for an involuntary repossession?
Yes, a creditor can potentially take you to court for a debt related to an involuntary repossession even after ten years, but it depends on the statute of limitations in your state.

What happens to charged off debt in chapter 7 bankruptcy if you refinance mortgage?
This confuses two different concepts. A "charge off" is an accounting and tax term that means the creditor does not believe a debt is going to be repaid. It gives the lender a tax deduction. A discharge in bankruptcy is a permanent injunction against a creditor taking any action to collect a debt, including debt collection agencies or successors/purchasers of a discharged debt. Assuming the refi of the mortgage happens after discharge, nothing happens. If the refi happens while a c 7 or 13 is still pending, and lowers the mortgage payment, and has been approved by the bankruptcy court, it could affect how much you have to pay to the trustee.
What is the requirement of the company before they can send your obligation to a credit service company who attempts to collect the debt?
