What happens when you miss a bankruptcy court date due to hospitalization?

If a meeting of creditors is missed it is usually continued once. If a motion in court is missed the judge might have rules against you.

How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

Pamela L. Stewart
Answered by attorney Pamela L. Stewart (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Pamela L. Stewart, Attorney at Law
Unfortunately, you can't get the bankruptcy off your credit report. By law, credit reporting agencies have the right to report a bankruptcy for ten years from the date the case was filed. The bankruptcy is a part of your credit history - you don't dispute the fact that you filed for bankruptcy. Two years after bankruptcy is a very short time to expect to be obtaining credit and loans - especially considering where the economy is. Even if your credit was just okay, I doubt you would be able to get a mortgage loan at this point. Give it time, as your bankruptcy ages, it will have less weight on your credit score. Meanwhile, you should pay on time for whatever debt, bills you may have.

If bankruptcy didn't reaffirm my home, can I still walk away anytime?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
The following answer applies to California jurisdiction only. I don't know of any local bankruptcy attorney who would condone or suggest to a client that they reaffirm a mortgage debt. It is not in your best interest to do that so the fact that you did not reaffirm is not a bad thing. If at some point you can't afford to make the payments anymore because you have filed and received a discharge in bankruptcy AND because you have NOT reaffirmed the debt you can walk away from the property. The only remedy the creditor(s) have is to take the property, they cannot sue you for any deficiency or attempt to collect from you. The protection of the bankruptcy discharge makes any such collections illegal. A loan modification, should you get one, would not change this result. Refinancing however would because when you refinance you get a new loan and in your case it would be a loan acquired after the bankruptcy had already been filed. Hope this perspective helps. Take care.
