What else can I help you with?
If your bankruptcy was dismissed due to failure to pay installments on time can you motion to reopen the same case even if the creditors continued to charge interestlate fees past the dismissal date?
You will need to file a new Chapter 13 bankruptcy, propose a new Chapter 13 repayment palnt and demonstrated to the Court's satisfaction that you have the ability to pay the plan payments.
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.
If behind on Chapter 13 payments can a dismissal be prevented or reversed if payment is made for past due amount?
It can't be reversed, but if it is dismissed without prejudice, you can refile a chapter 13 six months from the dismissal date. The best option is to meet with the trustee to discuss the problems with the schedule that the person now has to see if it can be modified.
IF you have two car payments in chapter 13 Do you have to give up one car?
No. Chapter 13 offers individuals a number of advantages over liquidation under chapter 7. Perhaps most significantly, chapter 13 offers individuals an opportunity to save their homes from foreclosure. By filing under this chapter, individuals can stop foreclosure proceedings and may cure delinquent mortgage payments over time. Nevertheless, they must still make all mortgage payments that come due during the chapter 13 plan on time. Another advantage of chapter 13 is that it allows individuals to reschedule secured debts like cars (other than a mortgage for their primary residence) and extend them over the life of the chapter 13 plan. Doing this may lower the payments. Chapter 13 also has a special provision that protects third parties who are liable with the debtor on "consumer debts." This provision may protect co-signers. Finally, chapter 13 acts like a consolidation loan under which the individual makes the plan payments to a chapter 13 trustee who then distributes payments to creditors. Individuals will have no direct contact with creditors while under chapter 13 protection.
Can a chapter 13 bankruptcy be dismissed if the petitioner dies?

Can you keep your house after a bankruptcy?
Not unless your bankruptcy did the right things to allow you to keep it. If you are not in arrears in your mortgage payments before filing, you have to continue making the payments - preferably before the due date. If you are in arrears, you must file a chapter 13, with a plan to pay the arrears and whatever part of the unsecured debt you have to pay. Once the plan is completed, you can keep your house. If you get behind in your post-petition payments due, the bank will apply for relief from the automatic stay and you will lose your house.
How do you pay for your Car on chapter 13 Does the monthly payment stay the same?

If you are behind with Chapter 13 payments is there anything you can do to prevent or stop a dismissal such as a payment for the past due amount?
The BK trustee usually waits until two payments have been missed and then files a Motion To Dismiss. There will be a time specified (usually 30 days) in which missed payments can be made up in FULL. If the amount owed is not presented before the time expires the 13 will be dismissed without further notice. If the filing is less than 60 months the trustee might agree to meet with the party involved to discuss possible modification of the BK plan.
What will happen where Chapter 13 bankruptcy is dismissed due to default in payments?
Many people are unable to maintain the rigid repayment plans (and strict budget) that go along with Chapter 13 bankruptcy. One option is to switch to Chapter 7 bankruptcy. This can be done (one time) without court approval, although if you ever wish to switch back to Chapter 13 then the court will be involved. Before switching I would recommend looking at the different characteristics of each type of bankruptcy.
