It all depends on your score.....12 months after discharge, i bought a brand new car....$32000.00 at 9% interest rate.... DO NOT fall into the 18% trap, you are better off buying a junker until you get your score to about a 620-650.
yes
No, that's harrassment.
Between five (5) and six (6) years, depending on how long it took to discharge the chapter 13 bankruptcy. Generally a total of ten (10) years after the bankruptcy appears on your credit report is required before applying for prime credit. The average chapter 13 takes 4-5 years to be discharged, leaving about 5 years of having the bankruptcy still on your credit report.
If you have filed the financial management certificate due after the plan has been certified by the trustee as completed, you or your attorney must file an application for the discharge.

If the debt was discharged in the BK, no.
yes
The case, that you asked for, has been completed and resolved.
In a chapter 7 it is a total liquidation BK, that has been found valid and has been approved. Therefore the debtor(s) are discharged from the debt(s) that were included in the BK. A discharged BK is not the same as a closed BK. If it is a chapter 13, it indicates that the debtor(s) have fulfilled their obligation of repaying the amount to creditors that was ordered in the BK. After the trustee's audit a chapter 13 is considered closed
Provided the account was indeed discharged and the late fees were generated after the discharge, the answer is no.
If it has been discharged (At the end of the Chapter 13 plan), then you will most likely have to work out some type of payment with the lender. You can also consider filing another Chapter 13. (The car would most likely be the only debt)
No, that's harrassment.
Discharged normallly means its all over, all dates to file a protest have past and its a done deal.
It's final after the BK has actually been discharged.
Any debt that was omitted from the Chapter 7 can be collected after the discharge of the bankruptcy. If the bankruptcy has not been discharged, you may sitll be able to add it to the list of debts. If however the stay has been lifted (the bankrutcy is discharged) then there is no protections and you are vulnerable.
After the Chapter 13 plan has been successfully completed and the Trustee so certifies. Some courts require filing a motion or request for a discharge.
