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.

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.
Did Survivor window company quit making reliabilt windows or go out of business?
The company that owned Survivor Windows for the past 7 years was operating under Chapter 11 Bankruptcy for the past three years. In early October that company declared Chapter 7 bankruptcy and was shut down the same day by it's creditors. I am a Dept. Manager at Lowes and we were told Survivor could be purchased by another company and restarted but it was very unlikely given the economic situation. I think they are officially out of business for good. No word on how or if the "Lifetime Warranty"process for there products will be handled in the future.
Can you receive money as a gift after filing chapter 13?
Yes, you can receive money as a gift after filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. However, you must report this gift to the bankruptcy court and your trustee, as it could affect your repayment plan. The trustee may consider the gift as disposable income, which could lead to adjustments in your plan. It's advisable to consult with your bankruptcy attorney to understand the implications fully.

What can you do if you just recently had a chapter 7 bankruptcy then soon after had your car repossessed?
Usually a car you are still driving cannot be included in a chapter 7 unless it is turned back into the finance company because it is considered an asset that, if sold, could help pay off your other debts. If you do not include it in the bankruptcy, you are under the same obligation to make payments and if you don't then the car gets repo'd. If you file for bankruptcy the first thing I would do is talk to your lawyer about the options open to you if you want to keep your car.
