Bankruptcy anywhere is a Federal matter, in a Federal court. Except for minor differences in the way certain Federal Districts view things, for administrative ease mainly, it is the same everywhere.

Chapter 7 is a dissolution.

How soon after chapter 7 bankruptcy can you buy a new car?

The day you get your discharge paper. I do caution against that because ANY bad mark after a bankruptcy is taboo and you will not be able to finance anything for a long time.


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. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts and law, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person. Speak to a lawyer for specific advice. If you have any questions, please refer to a lawyer in your jurisdiction. Thanks!


Can you legally request to have a Chapter Seven removed after almost nine years?

A Chapter seven will remain on the credit report for ten years. You can always request, legally or informally. But the law states that bankruptcy may remain on your credit report for 10 years from the date of filing. The time limit is strictly adhered to by the credit bureaus for Chapter 7 bankruptcies. The bureaus are much more flexible with Chapter 13. These can, by law, remain for 10 years. But it is customary for them to be shielded from view after 7.
