You would need permission from the trustee of the Bankruptcy to apply for a loan. I don't think any lender will allow you to refi under a bankruptcy unless you are NOT planning to cash out what equity you have in your house. For example, if you are trying to reduce your interest rate, it is possible that a trustee will grant you this privilege. For more information about mortgage, take a look at Phil Turner's Credit Bible, you may find valuable information to assist.

How can you save your house if it was used as collatera o a business that is in default and you are filling bankruptcy?

Talk to a local experienced bankruptcy lawyer. If there is equity in the house after deducting the payoff on the first mortgage and any priority liens, you should not have a problem. If there is equity, it gets more complicated, but you may be able to keep the house with a Chapter 13.


Is it possible to refinance your home while in chapter 13?

Yes, it is possible to refinance your home while in an open Chapter 13, if your credit score meets the company's requirements. Also, a max 80% loan to value on your equity will be used to make sure you have enough money in your home to cover closing costs. There are also programs available that do not have score requirements and also allow you to payoff the remaining balance. If you need assistance go to www.1800PFG.com.

If my husband and I have to file bankruptcy and the car is in my daughters and my name will we loose it?

If there is no equity in the car (it is worth as much or less than the payoff price), and the payments are current, no. If there is equity, since your daughter is not entitled to your exemption, someone will have to pay half of the equity to the trustee.


You were the beneficiary of a car in a will but the car still has a lien?

You cannot will, what you do not own. You were only willed the EQUITY, in the car, if any. Here is what you do. find out what the car is worth, verses what is owed. Look online for like models, for sale. That will give you an idea of value. Compare that number, to amount of payoff. You will have to call the bank, on this. Payoff, and amount of money ewed on the loan, are usually different. The payoff, will usually eliminate a bunch of interest. Anyway, compare the two, and if it is worth more than owed, then you have equity, or cash value there. If it is worth less than owed, you may be better to walk away from it. This is something only you can decide. At least all this will give you the information you need, to make your decision.

What is difference between chapter 7 and chapter 13?

Chapter 7 - Debt goes away. You cannot be behind on your house, car, etc to keep them. You cannot have massive amounts of "stuff" including equity in home/car. Chapter 13 - Lets you repay some debt at a percentage over time (up to five years). Perfect if you are behind on car or house. You get to pay the arrears over time. Chapter 11 - Like 13, except only applies if you have over $200,000 in unsecured and/or $800,000 in secured debt. (Those are the round limits.)
