The question has too little information to answer. How long ago was the bankruptcy filed? Was it a chapter 7 or a chapter 13? If a chapter 7, did you expressly state you were rtetaining the house and going to continue repaying the debt? What bakruptcy Court, since there are differences from state to state and even from court to court within a state? You may not need to relate this to bankruptcy at all, if the mortgagor will accept a deed in lieu of foreclosure (in a 7). If you are in a 13, you may be able to convert to a 7 and surrender the house.

You filed chap 7 bankruptcy 6 years ago and have been making payments can you give back the home to the lien holder without going through foreclosure?

You can give back the home to the lien holder without going through foreclosure. You just need to make arrangements with the lender. It is not smart at this point to surrender your house after so many payments.


In California would the debtor who just filed bankruptcy be arrested for concealing the car on which he stopped making payments?

I don't know about California, but if you filed bankruptcy, you do have to answer to a Judge as to your actions, the non-payment, and/or concealment. The loan was secured by the car so if the Judge sees that the car is worth what is owed--you either reafirm and make payments or you give the car back.


If an executor of a will waits six months after a bankruptcy to give the bankrupt his inheritance is it safe from the trustee?

Maybe. It depends upon the type of bankruptcy that was filed (state or federal) and the time the bankruptcy petitioner actually was awarded the inheritance, not accepted it. A bankruptcy case is officially finished when it is closed, not discharged.

You give your car back to the bank after filing bankruptcy, the bank will ask your attorney for the vehicle back and give you a certain amount of time and the location to return it to. Definitely do not give it back before you file you will need to have it discharged legally from your debts.

Can you get a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy?

I am trying to figure this out myself as I have recently filed bankruptcy and both my husband and I are students. There is a portion of the bankruptcy code that makes it illegal for government agencies to refuse student loans to those who have filed bankruptcy. So, as far as getting Title IV funding, such as government backed loans, you should still be able to get them. Title IV loans are not granted based on credit worthiness and therefore should be given to those who have filed banlruptcy, as long as there are no other eligibility issues, such as a student loan in default, drug conviction, etc. If you want to get a loan from a private lender, then they are under NO obligation to give you a student loan if you have filed bankruptcy or have other credit problems. For example, the Plus! loans that are available to parents are based on creditworthiness, so a bankruptcy would affect your ability to get this type of loan. As far as my student loan after bankruptcy, I did have to fill out additional paperwork and am still awating the results. I will post again after I find out what happens.
