Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

Stuart M. Nachbar
Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
First of all, you do not state that you signed Reaffirmation Agreements, which lenders tried to get you to sign back then, so I will presume that none was signed, and that you have signed nothing since. Therefore, the Bankruptcy discharged your personal obligation on the timeshare and the three houses. They can not add to your personal responsibility due to the C7 discharge and if they try to tell you otherwise, they are wrong. As for signing the Deed in Lieu, that is up to you, but if you do, make sure you read it very very carefully so that they do not try to slip in something that does not belong there. Have an attorney familiar with Bankruptcy review it.

List your living expenses and income. You do not list your debts you plan to discharge which you will not pay, only post-filing living expenses.

Can I still file after I consolidated my credit card debt thru a third party program to get on an affordable payment plan and living expenses?

Christopher J. Kane
Answered by attorney Christopher J. Kane
Bankruptcy lawyer at Christopher J. Kane, P.C.
Yes, you can still file bankruptcy and discharge that debt. Just be sure you list all of the original creditors as well as the consolidation company in the creditor list.
