Can the lean holder file suit against the co-signee?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Ronald K. Nims
Lien holder. As long as your Chapter 13 plan conforms to the bankruptcy law, then the lien holder is forced to comply with the terms of he plan. The lien holder can't bring suit against your cosigner because bankruptcy law prohibits suits against cosigners during the plan. When your plan is complete, the loan will be paid off or (it's is a long term loan like a mortgage), the bankruptcy court will issue a court order stating that the loan is current and the lien holder has no right to sue on a current loan. If the lien holder fails to file a proof of claim with the court, you, as the debtor, can file a proof of claim and the loan will be handled based on the information in your proof of claim?

What can I do if my bankruptcy case was dismissed?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
It really depends upon the facts surrounding the dismissal. You are not eligible to re-file a bankruptcy case for 180 days if (1) the case was dismissed because you failed to abide by Bankruptcy Court Orders, or (2) you voluntarily dismissed the case following the filing of a motion for relief from the automatic stay. In most other circumstances you could re-file immediately, although you will have to jump through a few hoops to get the automatic stay extended beyond the 30 day period after the re-filing. This may or may not be a problem, depending upon the type of bankruptcy that you file and what you are hoping to achieve by such a filing.
