There isn't much of a choice to make, if the "13" is dismissed the debtor's creditors can proceed with whatever collection action is allowed according to state laws. This generally means the repossession of secured property, foreclosure and perhaps lawsuit(s). The most the debtor can hope for is to make affordable agreements with individual creditor(s) for debt repayment. That not being possible, the debtor should become informed of their legal rights if sued, and the process needed to protect their personal and real property as established by the laws of the state of residency.

If you filed Chapter 13 in 2001 and still have two more years of repayment is there any realistic way to purchase a home right now?

Yes... but you have to prove you can afford it. You have to find someone willing to give you a loan, which will be difficult since you have not been granted a discharge, and you have to get the Judge and Trustee to agree to allow you to assume additional debt.


Can you convert your Chapter 13 bankruptcy to Chapter 7 if you had a previous Chapter 7 that was discharged 8 years ago?

No. A Chapter 13 that is converted to Chapter 7 must have been ORIGINALLY filed at least 8 years from the prior Chapter 7. So, if you filed Chapter 7 in 2001, then filed Chapter 13 in 2005, you can't wait until 2009 and then convert the 13 to 7 since it was filed within 4 years of the prior 7. In this case, you would have to wait until 2009 and then DISMISS the Chapter 13 and re-file a new Chapter 7 after the 8 years from the prior 7 expired. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!


Can you file chapter 7 again if you filed bankruptcy in 2001?

Yes, but new bankruptcy reform will become effective on Oct 17, 2005. Some previous filings may or may not be deemed retroactive as to when they can be filed, as the new law will change the time frame to eight years. It will also become very difficult to file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy if the debtor has any disposable income. IRS guidelines will be used to determine the type of bankruptcy that will be allowed.

My wife filed chapter 7 in 1989 before we were married We had to file chapter 7 in 2001 is there a law in Washington state stating that she can't file again?

No. The Federal restrictions sill apply. She can file again after a certain period. Bankruptcy is not part of financial planning. Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.
