Can my name remain on the loan for the mobile home even though it was included in my chapter 7 discharge?

You should speak with the attorney who filed the bankruptcy for you. The debt was discharged. You do not owe it anymore.

Can a tenant who files for bankruptcy not have to pay rent?

Answered by attorney Austin M Hirschhorn (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Austin Hirschhorn, P.C.
You don't indicate in your question the chapter of the bankruptcy code the tenant used in his filing which could affect his obligation to pay rent. The filing of a bankruptcy case triggers the automatic stay which stops creditors from taking legal action against the debtor until the stay is lifted by the court. If you want to take legal action against the tenant you will have to file a motion in the bankruptcy court for relief from the automatic stay. The filing of bankruptcy does not affect obligations incurred after the filing so you should be able to collect any rent the tenant owes for the time after 4/30.

Can you sue someone in small claims after their bankruptcy has been discharged?

Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
If the debtor received a discharge in the bankruptcy, any suit to collect the discharged debt would be a violation of the discharge injunction and could subject the creditor to sanctions, including all of the debtor's attorney's fees. It is not a good idea to pursue a discharged debt.
