How do you remove a dismissal from your credit report?

If you are referring to a dismissal from a job, I do not think that should be there. I have never heard of the dismissal from employment being on a bankruptcy. I would consult an attorney on this.


When you file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy and it is dismissed you decide not to go on with it will this show up on your credit report?

The filing of a Chapter 13 SHOULD show on your credit report. The dismissal MAY show. Without seeing all three of your credit bureau files, there is no way to know for certain. You should obtain copies of all three reports from Equifax, Experian and Transunion. Dispute the appearance of anything having to do with a bankruptcy if you did not "go through with it".

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.

Why is a hearing scheduled for an order to show cause re dismissal when I was granted a motion to set aside default?

A hearing for an Order to Show Cause may have been scheduled to address any remaining issues related to the dismissal of the case despite the default being set aside. The court may want to ensure that all procedural requirements have been properly addressed before proceeding further in the case. It is important to attend the hearing and present any relevant information or arguments to the court.

If a Motion for Relief from Stay is filed can the debtor file a motion for dismissal and sell the property to an interested party?

A Chapter 7 debtor can move to dismiss the cause for cause, but he or she must demonstrate that the dismissal will not be prejudicial to the creditors in the case. A chapter 13 is easier to dismiss, so could trying converting to a 13 and this dismissing the Chapter 13. Now SHOULD you do this? That depends on a number factors, including how much money you can get by selling the property privately without violating the creditor's rights.
