Can you still keep your vacation home if you file bankruptcy if there is no equity?
In a chapter 7, yes, you can keep your vacation if you have no equity in it. This assumes you have not run out and borrowed money against it knowing you were going to file bankruptcy. In a chapter 13, the equity is only relevant to the amount to be paid to the unsecured creditors. You don't "lose" the property.
What is a Chapter 20?
As an unknown individual at the Doney & Associates law firm surmised, "there is no real Chapter 20, but we bankruptcy attorneys amuse ourselves by proving that we can add." A Chapter 20 is when you file a Chapter 13 right after a Chapter 7. One reason some people do this is because you cannot stop a home foreclosure with a Chapter 7, but you cannot file a Chapter 13 if your unsecured debt exceeds a certain dollar amount. So, if someone's home is being foreclosed but their unsecured debt amount exceeds the limit for a Chapter 13, those persons may file a Chapter 7 and wipe out the unsecured debt, then file a Chapter 13 and stop the home foreclosure. Some Courts frown on Chapter 20's since they see it as an unfair manipulation of the bankruptcy code.

The type of bankruptcy that you file all depends upon your personal case. If you have little in the way of assets and a lot of unsecured debt, then Chapter 7 is likely going to be the Chapter to file.

Consult with an attorney to make certain you are filing the proper Chapter for your particular case.
