If the court has already confirmed the chapter 13 plan then the money already paid is distributed to the creditors. Basically, since the case was not discharged, you still owe the debt, so you made payments towards the debt while in bankruptcy. If the plan was not yet confirmed by the court, the money is returned to the debtor by the trustee save for a small amount for the trustee's expenses (trustee would ask for this in his motion to dismiss). Money would not be distributed to creditors by the trustee until after the proposed chapter 13 plan is confirmed.

If a married couple no longer living together own a house and one files bankruptcy should the person filing bankruptcy surrender the house so other can keep house or will it cause other person to lose?

The party that filed bankruptcy will be protected as far as the collections process is concerned. The bank will in response expect the party who has not filed bankruptcy to make all the remaining payments. If this happens, you may want to consult with a lawyer ASAP so that you are making payments on a house that will be co-owned by an X.


What happens if the bankruptcy is denied and you have no equity in your home but am current in payments?

What happens to what? Your debts are still owed, including the mortgage(s). If you are not in foreclosure and are current in your payments, nothing will happen to your home. You will start getting sued (or getting hauled into court to collect on existing judgments) and eventually will get attachments on your home and/or on your wages if garnishment is allowed in your state for consumer debts.You may be able to refile, maybe after some period of time. Ask your bankruptcy lawyer or get one.


What happens to a loan if a finance corporation files for bankruptcy?

Nothing spectacular happens. And you are still liable for the loan payments. Most bankruptcy filings are for Reorganization, not for 'going-out-of-business'. The 'filing' of bankruptcy is done in a Bankruptcy Court. A judge oversees the orderly progression of the bankruptcy. If the finance corporation has filed for reorganization, then you will continue paying them -- because they are not going out of business Otherwise, your loan and every other loan will be sold to another financial institution -- and you will pay that new company. No matter what, you still have to pay the full amount of your loan.
