Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kevin W. Bruning (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bruning & Associates, P.C.
If you got your debt discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy, then you are not liable for the balances on your properties unless you reaffirmed the debt as part of your bankruptcy process. The banks want you to sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure because it saves them the time and expense of having to go through the foreclosure process in order to obtain title to the houses. Not signing doesn't create any obligation to you.

Do I have to continue paying for sewer service on a home after bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
Assuming that you filed a Chapter 7 case which is a reasonable assumption since you got a discharge fast then you do owe the sewer services after you filed. The debts discharged were those you had before you filed for bankruptcy. Assuming that you did list the County Sewer Department as a creditor then you do not owe the charges before you filed the bankruptcy case. Since you probably had a "no asset" Chapter 7 case (as the vast majority of such cases) you might not owe the charges before you filed even if you forgot to name Sewer Department of the County as a creditor and gave the County notice of the filing. Most likely you did not give the County notice of the bankruptcy since the services were not turned off. However, you are stuck with the charges after the date of filing the bankruptcy case. In some cities or counties that sewer charges will become a lien on the property and bank will pay the sewer fees before or after the foreclosure since the bank wants the property without liens so that it can sell property. If the sewer charges are not a lien that is paid by the bank or the buyer of the property then the County can sue you for the outstanding charges after the date of the bankruptcy filing.
