It depends on the chapter you filed under. If you filed under Chapter 7, you have to wait 8 years before filing again. If you filed under Chapter 13, you only have to wait four years.
Yes.
If you included it in your bankruptcy, you're protected by the discharge. If you didn't and you're already discharged from Chapter 7, you may not be protected. I suggest you discuss this with your bankruptcy lawyer.
Yes; however, you may be precluded from receiving a discharge.
I Have just been discharged from bankruptcy, does this legally mean that my possisions can not be touched and I am not liable anymore for the debt. I wont to know if my house is now safe ?
You should not get a 1099C if the deficiency was discharged in a bankruptcy. Otherwise, you should have gotten one by now.
A discharge is normally the final step saying "All your debts are discharged" ie: no one can collect on those debts anymore. It is what you were waiting for if you filed. Speak with an attorney about your specific situation. If you can not find an attorney, contact your local Bar association and they will refer you to one.
The money might be included in the bankruptcy even is a discharged has occurred. The time between the discharge and the receiving of the money would be the deciding factor. If the bankruptcy has not yet been discharged the money might be included in the procedure as assets, unless it held exemption status.
Hope you had a lawyer defending you against the judgment suit. You can use one now. Many, if not most judgments will not be discharged in BK.
Yes, as along as it is within a reasonalble time. Call the attorney that did your bankruptcy. Now if it is months after the fact--be advised that this will start the "time" the date if you please, again as far as creditors are concerned. So, if you were discharged a yr ago and want to reopen to add something...your bankruptcy will now has today's date as a discharge. It would have to be something very important--high balance before I would want to reopen my case. Good Luck
5/30/09 If you want to lose your money, you have a better chance in Vegas. After GM declare bankruptcy the stockholders are the last to be paid, which mostly likely be nothing. Wait until after the bankruptcy.
No worse than the B/K. Take the SUV back to the dealer, call the Lender and tell 'em where it is.
This is actually a question for your attorney but here is a direction. Ask your attorney if the home equity loan was included in your bankruptcy, did you complete all the payments you agreed to in the bankruptcy. I am guessing that if you filed for BK the bank probably did not let you use any unused portion of the line. Look into refinancing your home equity line of credit they are usually not fixed and can go up as much as once every 30 days. Right now the projections for the prime rate is to increase as much as 1/2 to 3/4 to 7.25 by the end of this year. If there is no equity in the home, then the lien is discharged in bankruptcy making it an insecured debt.
