If my bankruptcy was dismissed because I missed payments on my chapter 13, can I refile?

You can refile, or you can file a motion to reinstate the chapter 13. If you have an attorney on the case, you need to discuss that with him or her.

Can we cancel the chapter 13 we started and just wait until June and file the 7 again since we can’t afford the payment?

Yes, a chapter 13 is voluntary, which means you can dismiss it at any time. If you otherwise qualify for a chapter 7, you can file a chapter 7 immediately after the chapter 13 is closed. There must be 8 years between the filing date of the prior chapter 7 and the filing date of the new chapter 7.

Can I lower the principle amount on my first mortgage by filing chapter 13 bankruptcy?

With a $200,000.00 difference between what its worth and the 1st mortgage, I'd SERIOUSLY consider giving up the home in a Chapter 13 so you can get a "fresh start" and a smaller, more affordable home. You may have to rent during the pendency of the bankruptcy, but you could save a substantial sum of money up for another home when then bankruptcy is over.
