How long do I have to wait to refile for bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
While you must wait at least 8 years between filing two chapter 7 (11 USC 727(a)(8)) bankruptcies (assuming you got your discharge) you need only wait two years between Chapter 13 cases (11 USC 1328(f)(2)) 4 years between a 7 and a 13 (11 USC 1328(f)(1)) and six years between a 13 and a 7 (if the percentage to the unsecured creditors was under 70%) (11 USC 727(a)(9)). Please make sure you consult an attorney because you must fall under the definition of a debtor and you may have to take extra steps not normally performed in a Bankruptcy in order to make sure you are protected by the automatic stay (11 USC 362 et seq.) These times may also be greatly shortened if you did not get a discharge in the first case.

When Chap 13 Plan expires but new Creditor emerges and Trustee extends plan does extension renew payment schedule for prior Plan Creditors?

Answered by attorney Michael D. Siegel
Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
It depends on the plan terms.  While the bankruptcy is open, you are stayed from actions against the debtor under state law, like garnishment.

Will a discharged chapter 7 bankruptcy protect us from foreclosure?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jay William Moreland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Jay W. Moreland, P.A.
Yes, the bankruptcy will protect you. A secured creditor is still entitled to get its security back, however. The bankruptcy does not eliminate the lien. It does eliminate your personal liability on the debt. Thus they will only be able to get the property back. If you owe more than the property is worth, that excess has been discharged in bankruptcy. So they cannot garnish your wages, etc. If you do not sign a deed in lieu of foreclosure, the creditor will have to go to the expense of foreclosing on the mortgage to get the property back. If you do sign the deed in lieu, you will save the lender time and money. In either case you will not owe more. One exception for real estate is homeowner's association fees. Since those generally occur on a monthly basis, each month is a new bill. So every bill for condo fees or homeowner's association dues that occurs after you filed your bankruptcy is not covered by your bankruptcy discharge. It is a post petition debt. In most cases the person who gets the property back will end up paying the condo fees to clear up the debt in order to sell the property. The condo association or homeowner's association may not be willing to wait that long. If that happens, they may sue you and your bankruptcy won't stop it.
