Sure can....It's even easier than getting one before a Chapter 7. Their called Day 1 after Bankruptcy loans. Surpisingly, your credit scores are pretty decent after the discharge. The creditors also know that you can't file again for several years, so they don't have to worry about you running back to the courts for help. The interest rates run about 6%...again, better than you would have gotten prior to the Chapter 7...

Can you get a home loan if you have recently filed a chapter 7?

Not if the bankruptcy is pending. Once it has been discharged (preferably closed) then it is possible to apply for credit. Whether or not the applicant is extended credit of any sort is the decision of the lending institution.


If your wife is in a Chapter 13 plan and is the borrower on the mortgage can the husband apply for a refinance loan to pay off the first mortgage?

Yes! The only thing is the chapter 13 will have to be discharged at closing. Depending on how long she has been in the bankruptcy, this may not be a big hassle. It is impossible to refinance a home in a chapter 13 without the BK being discharged. For more information, please feel free to email me at Travis.Fleury@gmail.com. I work for one of the largest direct private mortgage lenders in the country, i'd be glad to help answer any other questions.


If a parent wants to sell you their home cheap but you are going to a Chapter 7 hearing soon can you buy the house or how long do you have to wait?

You must wait until your Chapter 7 is discharged before entering into any financial obligation such as a loan, land contract or purchase agreement. This also includes the purchase of vehicles and merchandise.


Is foreclosure done quicker if home has been discharged in bankruptcy?

A home is not discharged in bankruptcy. The mortgage(s) and home equity loans, lines of credit, etc., are discharged, but you have to abandon the real estate in the bankruptcy. That means the mortgagee can go ahead with a foreclosure if there was none before the filing, once the Chapter 7 is closed. Chances are the mortgagee would ask for relief from stay to go ahead with the foreclosure. The trustee may get any excess from the sale, unless it was exempted.


What is a Chapter 20?

As an unknown individual at the Doney & Associates law firm surmised, "there is no real Chapter 20, but we bankruptcy attorneys amuse ourselves by proving that we can add." A Chapter 20 is when you file a Chapter 13 right after a Chapter 7. One reason some people do this is because you cannot stop a home foreclosure with a Chapter 7, but you cannot file a Chapter 13 if your unsecured debt exceeds a certain dollar amount. So, if someone's home is being foreclosed but their unsecured debt amount exceeds the limit for a Chapter 13, those persons may file a Chapter 7 and wipe out the unsecured debt, then file a Chapter 13 and stop the home foreclosure. Some Courts frown on Chapter 20's since they see it as an unfair manipulation of the bankruptcy code.
