Can I still be required to pay damages after surrendering a vehicle 6 months after bankruptcy discharge?

In most instances, after bankruptcy the company financing your vehicle simply wants the vehicle back or your payments. You have a legal obligation to return the vehicle to the lender and it looks like there was a breakdown in communication between the two of you.

Is it possible for the previous loan owner to take us to court and have the case reopened after refinancing?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
The home loan and property was listed in your bankruptcy, or should have been. If you filed Chapter 7 and there was no reaffirmation agreement the loan was discharged. If you are current with your payments, never late, etc., then they cannot foreclose. If you are late the lender has the same right to foreclose, but there should be no personal liability for a deficiency judgment IF you DID NOT sign a reaffirmation agreement.

What do we need to do to qualify for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Sheryl Susan Graf (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
There are two sections of the bankruptcy code which typically apply to individuals: Chapter 7 (commonly referred to as a "straight" bankruptcy and Chapter 13 (commonly referred to as a reorganization or repayment plan). In most cases, all of your assets are exempt from being sold to pay your debts. In other words, you get to keep everything but your debts. Student loans are generally not dischargeable, but there are some exceptions. You can claim an exemption for your primary residence, so it may make financial sense for you to move into the trailer (assuming the amount of equity does not exceed the allowable amount AND you can afford to make the monthly payment), and let the house go back to the bank in your bankruptcy proceeding (assuming you are underwater and cannot afford to pay the mortgage).
