In a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, when I pay it off is it truly mine and they can't claim anything?

You shouldn't have any problems. In my jurisdiction I would have filed a motion to have the judge rule the mortgage company waived any right to take adverse action (like failing to report your payments to a credit bureau, etc.) due to failure to execute a reaffirmation agreement because it was their fault none was ever filed. But don't worry it's still your house.

If sheriffs gives me a 5 day notice can I file for emergency bankruptcy?

It takes me about a month to get all the paperwork ready to file with the bankruptcy court. If you can file an "emergency bankruptcy" and you think that will enable you more time to relocate, then go ahead and do it. An automatic stay pursuant to federal law will be in effect on the moment you file a bankruptcy. This means that no creditor can proceed with an action in State court. The sheriff has already given you a 5 day notice. But I do not know what the notice says. If it says you have 5 days to vacate, then you should vacate. Filing bankruptcy is not something you can just go an do so that you have more time to move. It is a very serious decision for which you need competent legal advice. The law changed back in 2005 so that people who are going to file bankruptcy must first go over their financial circumstances with an approved consumer credit counseling agency, and get a certificate saying that they have done so.

Can I file for bankruptcy again?

Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Sheryl S. Graf
You can only file for a Chapter 7 (complete discharge) once every 8 years. If your prior bankruptcy was a Chapter 7, and it has not been 8 years, you may be able to file under a different section (for example, a Chapter 13 reorganization/repayment plan).
