Can I refinance while in chapter 13?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
It can be possible to refinance while in a Chapter 13 but you need to find a lender willing to do so and obtain court approval. Many times the change in your mortgage payment may result in you having to make a higher plan payment.

Should the release of a lien occur after Chapter 7?

Michael Jay Berger
Answered by attorney Michael Jay Berger
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Michael Jay Berger
Filing bankruptcy discharges your personal obligation to your dischargeable debts, but it does not remove judicially imposed liens from your home. To do this, you need to file a separate Motion to Remove Judicially Imposed Lien that Impinges on Your Homestead Exemption. This needs to be done while your bankruptcy case is still open. If you need help with this, please call me.

Can I file bankruptcy on a civil judgement?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
Schedule a consult with a local bankruptcy attorney. They'll need to know more about the circumstances of this judgment. Is it restitution, was there a DUI? Also whether you qualify for chapter 7 discharge depends on income and living expenses, whether all of property is exempt will depend on what you own and how much it is worth. If you fail the Means Test, you will be looking at a chapter 13 repayment/structure type of bankruptcy and you'll want to know how much the chapter 13 payments would be. When you schedule a consult the attorney will tell you what to bring with you so they can advise you. Good luck!
