Can I amend my Chapter 7 Bankruptcy to include a car I bought after I filed?

Answered by attorney Steven Jed Alpers (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Steven J. Alpers, A Professional Corporation
You only include debts incurred before filing on a bankruptcy, chapter 7 or 13 not later. If your debt was after filing and the bankruptcy was completed then you are out of luck, you may have to file a chapter 13.

What is the best thing to do if I have a second mortgage and my home isn't at the value I purchased it at?

Craig Alan Burnett
Answered by attorney Craig Alan Burnett (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Craig Burnett
It is possible to "strip" your second mortgage by filing Chapter 13. To do so, the property must be worth less than the amount you currently owe on your first mortgage. It is not relevant whether the value of the property is less than the amount you purchased it for. The issue is whether the value is less than the current balance on your first mortgage.
