I filed chapter 13 bankruptcy in 2011 and was dismissed in 2012, can I file now to keep from losing my home?

Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
The circumstances of the prior dismissal can be critical in answering this question. If the dismissal was within the past 180 days and for any of the reasons set forth in Code section 109(g), you would not be eligible for Chapter 13 relief until the 180 day period has passed. If section 109(g) does not apply to you, you should be able to file Chapter 13 again.However, if the prior case was dismissed within the last 12 months you must bring on a motion, immediately after filing, seeking to extend the automatic stay beyond the authorized 30 day period. In such a motion you must establish that the current case was filed in "good faith", which is best illustrated by showing a change in your circumstances from the prior filing demonstrating that the new case has a reasonable chance to succeed. If the automatic stay is not extended beyond the 30 day period after filing, the new Chapter 13 case will probably not accomplish your goals.

Don't see how they could file without paying the filing fee. Anyway, just call & give them your case number, day of filing, & attorney contact information.

Bankruptcy? How about a guardianship because it seems you're incompetent to handle your own finances.
