They may legally reinstate collection procedures including but not limited to litigation. Pending lawsuits will go forward and judgment awards will remain valid unless the debtor/defendant files and receives a Motion to Quash the action(s).
The case first has to be dismissed. Once the case has been dismissed it will be disposed of. In some cases it may not be on your record and in some cases it will say dismissed.
"Dismissed" is different from "discharged". If you truly mean "dismissed" (i.e., without a discharge), it's as if you never filed; you still owe, assuming the statute of limitations hasn't run on the debt (that varies by state). That usually happens only if you didn't follow all the rules. If you actually meant "discharged" (as normally happens at the end of a successful bankruptcy case, including Chapter 13), you don't owe. Technically, the debt still exists, but the discharge permanently enjoins the creditors in your case from enforcing it, thus effectively eliminating it.
Yes. If you voluntarily have a chapter 13 bankruptcy dismissed, your creditors will be notified of the dismissal.
The debts are still valid and creditors can continue with collection procedures including, in most cases, a lawsuit.
"Case dismissed" means the same as any other time you hear it. Dismissed means that the case has no merit or means to go forward and that charges (in this case, the charge of bankruptcy) can not be proven or declared. The bankruptcy was not granted.
If your Chapter 13 case is dismissed in California, you may lose the protection of the automatic stay, allowing creditors to resume collection actions. You may also still owe the debts included in the bankruptcy, and any missed payments may need to be caught up to avoid further consequences. It's important to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand your options and potential next steps.
Not only is it possible, it is almost certain that the case would be dismissed. You might be given an extension by the court, but ultimately they must be filed.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means that the case is permanently closed and cannot be brought back to court. On the other hand, when a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the case can be refiled in the future.
If the case was dismissed (not discharged) then you are still responsible for everything. Dismissed = you owe everything the same as before filing Discharged = bankruptcy completed and you owe nothing more. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
When a case is dismissed with prejudice, it means that the case is permanently closed and cannot be brought back to court. On the other hand, when a case is dismissed without prejudice, it means that the case can potentially be refiled in the future.
It means the case was closed, or dismissed. Usually this happens due to the petitioner failing to appear, or the alotted time required for the petitoner to complete an action has been exceeded. The matter can be refiled, though.
The short answer is to get the case dismissed so it can be refiled.
