Can you convert your Chapter 13 bankruptcy to Chapter 7 if you had a previous Chapter 7 that was discharged 8 years ago?
No. A Chapter 13 that is converted to Chapter 7 must have been ORIGINALLY filed at least 8 years from the prior Chapter 7. So, if you filed Chapter 7 in 2001, then filed Chapter 13 in 2005, you can't wait until 2009 and then convert the 13 to 7 since it was filed within 4 years of the prior 7. In this case, you would have to wait until 2009 and then DISMISS the Chapter 13 and re-file a new Chapter 7 after the 8 years from the prior 7 expired.

What to do in Ohio if in chapter 13 all secured was paid in full for vehicle but when converted to chapter 7 was NEVER notified of responsibility for unsecured portion thus repossesssion was a shock?
Your lawyer should have told you. If you did not have a lawyer, you are presumed to know what the law and regulations provide. Shock when the law operates as it should means you thought you knew everything and did not. Too bad you cannot sue yourself for malpractice. If you had a lawyer, and his fee covered the conversion to Chapter 7, you may have a claim, but then the issue is, would it have made any difference?
