If a creditor withdrew their claim after I objected to the claim can that person now sue me in a local court?

Need specifics but generally if you are in bankruptcy all claims against the bankrupt must be brought there.

How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Roger J Bus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Debt Relief Law Center
There is no way that I am aware of to get a bankruptcy removed from a credit report prematurely. If there was a legal way, everybody would be doing it. One of the ramifications of filing bankruptcy is it can be legally reported on your credit report "up to 10 years." Some creditors may "ignore" your bankruptcy filing after only 2 years, others after 6, etc.- but that is their decision to make. Some creditors (such as high interest car lots) may ignore your credit report almost immediately, proof of a steady job is good enough for them to provide secured financing. But I have no knowledge of how you could remove a bankruptcy after only two years in order to obtain condo financing- the only thing you can do is be up front about it and persuade them you are a good credit risk in spite of your prior bankruptcy.

Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Lien holder. As long as your Chapter 13 plan conforms to the bankruptcy law, then the lien holder is forced to comply with the terms of he plan. The lien holder can't bring suit against your cosigner because bankruptcy law prohibits suits against cosigners during the plan. When your plan is complete, the loan will be paid off or (it's is a long term loan like a mortgage), the bankruptcy court will issue a court order stating that the loan is current and the lien holder has no right to sue on a current loan. If the lien holder fails to file a proof of claim with the court, you, as the debtor, can file a proof of claim and the loan will be handled based on the information in your proof of claim?
