It sounds like you are worrying about things that are completely unimportant, which almost always means that you are ignoring things that are important. Do not file bankruptcy without legal representation, because it is the problem that you don't see that will bite you.

When I filed the bankruptcy the first time, does that count or will the case be dismissed?

Answered by attorney Alan Emmerson Ramos (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Alan E. Ramos Law Offices
You must take the course within 180 days of the filing of the petition. The case will most likely be dismissed if the trustee or a creditor files a motion to dismiss the case.

Am I still responsible for the house which the sale fell apart after bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You are still responsible for the house to the extent that you owe ongoing taxes, HOA dues, municipal fines relating to maintenance, and you are liable should anyone be injured on the property. The bankruptcy eliminated your personal responsibility to pay the mortgage company and any obligations that arose before the bankruptcy was filed. Any obligation that comes up after you filed your bankruptcy is not covered by the discharge.
