Can filing bankruptcy stop or prolong my eviction?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony Mankus (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Mankus & Marchan, Ltd.
If the landlord has obtained an order for posession, the filing of the bankruptcy will not stop the eviction, although there are some exceptions. It also appears that you bought the property on contract and the landlord sold it to someone else. That would be an issue for the State Court, although you may be able to litigate it in the Bankruptcy Court as well. Seek the help of a good attorney.

If my bankruptcy was dismissed because I missed payments on my chapter 13, can I refile?

Answered by attorney Michael Burton McFarland (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Michael B. McFarland, PA
Usually, you can re-file after a case was dismissed - if it was only for missed payments. Your new filing should include a plan that you can afford, however, or it's doomed to failure. Generally a Chapter 13 is preferable to a payment plan you set up with your creditors, since the creditors can't pull the plug on you once your plan is confirmed (as long as you make your payments). Subsequent filings pose a potential problem with the automatic stay, so you should not try it on your own. Use an experienced bankruptcy attorney.

Does the state have an exemption where I can protect my refund or would it be best if I file in April after receiving and spending my return?

Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
If you have a claim to an income tax refund, then that is property of your bankruptcy estate, and unless you can exempt it it will ultimately go to the trustee. Sue do you mean filing your income tax return will not do you any good.
