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

Cary Sawyer Smalley
Answered by attorney Cary Sawyer Smalley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at The Smalley Law Firm, LLC
That depends what chapter of bankruptcy you previously filed and what chapter you are intending to file.

If I didn't think I had to list all of my credit cards with my attorney until after he filed bankruptcy, what should I do?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
Surely your lawyer told you to list all possible claims. But whether he did or did not, contact him ASAP and tell him that you inadvertently omitted a number of claims. He will then draft an Amendment to your schedules, listing the creditor by name and address, the amount (exact or approximate) you believe the creditor claims, the date (exact or approximate) that the claim was incurred, and what it was for (e.g. services, loan of money, etc.). You will have to sign the amendment. BR courts charge $30 for an Amendment of up to 5 creditors. If the case is already closed, the court will charge a fee of, I think, $300 to reopen the case.

My wife co-signed for her mother on a bank credit card. Now married, my mother is filing bankruptcy. Will my wife be paying?

Answered by attorney Sanaz Sarah Bereliani (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Bereliani Law Firm, PC
As a cosigner your wife is responsible for debts not paid by the original card signer, that is the meaning of co-signer. You can attempt to take your wife's name off as co-signer but I doubt the credit card company will allow this as that was a condition of granting the card. Once your mother in law files for bankruptcy they cannot collect the debt from her and will next pursue to collect the funds from your wife. You can choose to pay them off through a lump sum settlement or continue regular payments. If you have other debts yourselves, you can file for bankruptcy. It all depends on your situation. I'd recommend consulting an attorney.
