What can you do if a credit card was not listed in your bankruptcy but was on your credit report and credit card co did a review for credit line increase and saw the bankruptcy and notated the account?

That depends on HOW they notated the account. If they marked it as 'included in bankruptcy', even if you did not list them on your creditor matrix, you probably will not succeed in disputing it, but you can try.


What if you filed for chapter 7 then your car that you owes from a credit union was totaled and you buy it back from them will the court dismiss your line of credit with that credit union?

No. You probably didn't include the car loan in the bankruptcy (if you did you wouldn't have the car anymore). If debt wasn't included in the bankruptcy you still owe it. Was the car insured? Usually if there's a loan on it the loan holder requires full coverage insurance. I'm not sure what the line of credit has to do with the car.... but if that line of credit account number was included in the bankruptcy it will/was discharged.


Can you use line of credit to buy a house?

You can contact your bank or financial institution for Housing Loan for buying a house, by using their line of credit.


Can a bank close your account after bankruptcy if you never bounced checks and have no line of credit with them?

No, the banks can not close your saving and checkings account. If you have credit card debts then yes they can close your credit cards.


Can they take your house if you do not pay your credit card?

Only if the credit card an "equity line of credit" which is secured by a second mortgage on the property. But then, if her name is not on the house, she couldn't have used it for security on the credit card, so NO.

Will your credit report only show a discharged bankruptcy or will it also show all the accounts included in the bankruptcy?

Your credit report will show both the accounts (which were listed first) and the legal entry of the bankruptcy in the public records portion of your credit report. Once a bankruptcy is discharged, credit grantors should update the account listing (called a trade line) and make sure that no derogatory information is showing (like past due balance or collection account notations) EXCEPT for the "included in bankruptcy" statement. This is what SHOULD happen. It's up to you to follow up and make sure that your credit report looks like it is supposed to after a bankruptcy.

If you include your house in a chapter 7 will you have a foreclosure and a bankruptcy on your credit report Will that make it harder to get another house in 2 years?

No and yes. NO if you re-establish your cedit after 2 years. Usually with 3 more credit lines, with at least 12 months excellent payment history and i credit line over $3000. This will generally increase your credit to the mid 650's.. from experience. YES if you continue to make the same poor credit choice. So be careful and please do establish new credit but very wisely.
