The normal procedure is to file a motion to reopen the case so you can add the crediotr that you forgot to list. A great deal depends on whether or not you had assets available to pay creditors. In some areas of the country, unlisted debts are still discharged if you have a "no asset 7" when no money was available to the creditors. You should consult a bankruptcy attorney to determine if further action is warranted.

Can someone file judgment on someone who filed bankruptcy and had it discharged 1 year ago?

It depends on whether that creditor was listed on Schedule F at the time of the filing. The filing of Bankruptcy (BK) doesn't in itself wipe out the debt: that debt must be listed on the list of creditors. If a debt was discharged under BK then the creditor(s) on the list of discharged debts cannot take any action against the Debtor: IT'S GONE FOR GOOD! That's what BK is for-- to give a fresh start. If the creditor was such at the time of filing and the debtor forgot to include that creditor on the list, he may be able to later add it on and have that debt also discharged. Now, if the debtor has since incurred a debt after the BK was discharged then that creditor can take action against the debtor.


Forgot to include a creditor in a chapter 7 it is unsecured will it still be discharged?

No, but you will be protected under the stay for as long as the Ch. 7 is active (not been discharged or dismissed), and you have alotted amount of time to add creditors.


You did chapter 7 and went to court but you forgot about one person you owe can you still add them?

Yes you can re-open your BK to add a creditor. however, if it was a no asset case, there is no need to add them as their debt would be considered discharged.


If you filed bankruptcy but your spouse did not what happens with a personal loan you have together that you forgot to file on?

The creditor can legally pursue collection of the debt owed from the non-filing spouse by whatever means they deem necessary, including filing a lawsuit.


Are you still responsible for a debt that you forgot to list before being discharged from chapter7?

Yes


Can you add an account after filing for bankruptcy if it's been a couple of months and you were discharged but you recently received a letter from one of the accounts and realized you forgot to add it?

I think there's some kind of amendment you can file for up to a year after you're discharged. There's a fee for filing an amendment and it's probably different in each state. Check with the lawyer who handled your case.


If you have a medical bill that you forgot to include in your bankruptcy are you still liable to pay for it even if it was done before you file bankruptcy and later found out the insurance didn't pay it?

Yes, it is still considered your debt, even though you have had a bankruptcy discharge. You could try reopening the BK filing and adding the debt on. That however is complicated and expensive. Your best option IMO, is negotiate with the creditor. The Bankruptcy Code says a debt is not wiped out if it was not listed (see 11 U.S.C. 523(a)(3)), but there is some case law (not applicable in all jurisdictions) that says it IS wiped out in a Chapter 7 case IF it was inadvertently missed, IF the Chapter 7 was declared a "no asset" case, and IF the debt was of the sort that it would have been discharged had it been properly listed. In this situation, one could call their bankruptcy attorney and ask how much it would cost to reopen the case and add the creditor to the bankruptcy. The Court charges a reopen fee of $155.00 and an amendment fee of $26.00, plus the attorney would charge his or her fees to do the work. Then, one could ask the medical creditor how much they would settle the claim for. Whichever is cheaper is probably the best thing to do.

Work out an agreement with the other party, or file for bankruptcy. Filing for bankruptcy stops all wage garnishments. Or, obviously, pay off all of your debts!

What if you forgot to include a checking account information on your bankruptcy case?

"Forgot"? The forms or your lawyer asked for all bank or other financial accounts. If the balance in your account was close to zero at the time of filing, you may not need to worry, but if there was a significant balance, you should amend your Schedule B to include it. Check with your lawyer or get a bankruptcy lawyer.


What if you already filed and you forgot to claim unemployment?
