Can we ask to have the case dismissed and start over with new attorney?

Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
Would not recommend dismissing, but simply have the new counsel file a substitution of attorney and have the new counsel file the proper amendments.

How long do I need to wait before filing a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
There is no set time you must wait after incurring a debt before you can file a bankruptcy petition. EXCEPT that you cannot discharge a debt incurred within 70 day before filing your petition if it is for a cash advance greater than about $875.00; or a credit purchase of 'luxury goods' costing more than $600.00 within 90 days before filing. Apart from those time periods, the important question is whether you incurred the debt with the intention of discharging it in bankruptcy. If you did, it is fraud and the debts could be excluded from the discharge. Get a skilled BR lawyer; it's almost always worth it.

Will my house go in foreclosure if I convert from a chapter 13 to 7?

The trustee did not send a letter of dismissal for just missing one payment. Talk to your bankruptcy attorney to determine the problem. As to your question about the house and converting the case. You are fine so long as you are not behind on any payments to any lender secured on the house.
