What else can I help you with?
Could you change your chapter 7 to chapter 13 after being discharged?
Sometimes Chapter 13 debtors need or want to convert their bankruptcy case from a Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7 bankruptcy. And sometimes the bankruptcy court will force you to convert from Chapter 13 to Chapter 7 - this is often called a "forced conversion." The reasons for conversions vary. For the most part, if you are instigating the conversion, you have a right to convert your case. But that doesn't always mean you'll qualify for Chapter 7 relief.

How long before filing chapter 7 taking a 401k loan?
Taking a 401(k) loan before filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy is generally permissible, but it’s important to consider the implications. The loan must be repaid, and if you default on it, the amount owed may be treated as a distribution, which could impact your bankruptcy case. Additionally, it's advisable to consult with a bankruptcy attorney to understand how the timing and amount of the loan could affect your overall financial situation and bankruptcy filing.
Can IRS take your refund if your in bankruptcy?
Yes, the IRS can take your tax refund if you are in bankruptcy, particularly if you owe back taxes or have not filed your tax returns. However, if your bankruptcy case is under Chapter 7 and you have unpaid tax liabilities, the IRS may offset your refund to cover those debts. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, your refund may be considered part of your disposable income and could be used to pay your creditors. It is essential to consult with a bankruptcy attorney for guidance specific to your situation.
Is a revolving credit card account considered past due if it was part of a Chapter 13 bankruptcy?
A revolving credit card account included in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is not considered past due as long as you are making the required payments according to the bankruptcy repayment plan. During Chapter 13, your debts are reorganized, and creditors must cease collection efforts. However, if you fail to make the payments outlined in the plan, the account could become past due. Always consult with your bankruptcy attorney for specific guidance related to your situation.

What could you possibly be asking? If the asset was sold during bankruptcy to pay creditors and your debts, its gone. Owned by someone else. That's how your debts get paid. Your assets are used.

The Bankruptcy Abuse and Prevention and Consumer Protection Act limited the number of debtors who could declare which type of bankruptcy?
The Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection Act (BAPCPA) of 2005 primarily limited the number of debtors who could declare Chapter 7 bankruptcy. The act introduced a means test to determine eligibility, making it more difficult for higher-income individuals to file for Chapter 7 and forcing many to seek Chapter 13 bankruptcy instead. This shift aimed to reduce perceived abuses in the bankruptcy system and encourage debtors to repay a portion of their debts.
Can you file a chapter 7 after a chapter 13?
Believe it or not, the ploy is called a Chapter 20! A so-called "Chapter 20" bankruptcy is the process filing of a "Chapter 7" bankruptcy to discharge unsecured debts, followed by a "Chapter 13" bankruptcy to allow the debtor to catch up on mortgage payments. The 2005 Bankruptcy Reform Act attempts to limit "Chapter 20" bankruptcies by imposing limits on the filing of successive bankruptcies. Under current bankrupcy law a Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be filed only once every two years, and three years must pass after the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy before a Chapter 13 filing. Some debtors attempt to circumvent this restriction by filing for Chapter 13 protection while the Chapter 7 petition is still pending. That option is not available in all courts. In a "Chapter 20" bankruptcy, debtors should be aware that missing even one mortgage payment after filing the initial "Chapter 7" petition may cost them their ability to save their home in a subsequent "Chapter 13" filing.
