Assuming you filed a Chapter 13 case (you don't disclose that information for some reason), if your case was dismissed, then your case is over and you did not receive a discharge of debts.  In order to receive a discharge you would need to file a new bankruptcy case. If it is within 14 days of the dismissal, you may be able to seek to have the court reconsider its dismissal by filing an appropriate motion.   You should have filed a motion to modify or suspend your plan payments when you fell behind on the payments. This is a classic example of why it is necessary to have an experienced bankruptcy attorney representing you and one of the many problems that can arise when you fail to do so.  You should consult with an attorney in your area immediately to see about what you can do from this point. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

If a co defendant has received a bankruptcy stay in our case, can I still get a fair trial without him?

I would speak either attorney but it certainly appears that he is an indispensable party, and additionally the creditor should be seeking a determination on the discharge ability of his debt if it was incurred as a result of a fraud. Generally, fraudulently incurred debts are not dischargeable.

Thank you Mark.  Exactly.  You need to speak with several lawyers, most have free first consultations. If you don't have the attorney fees, that does not mean you cannot afford to file.
