It stays on your record for 8 years. After discharge you should proactively try to build up your credit and it is possible that you might be able to apply to a house loan in a few years.

How do I rent a home after a chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney William Monroe Rubendall (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at William Rubendall Attorney at Law
I have practiced bankruptcy law for 33 years and have had thousands of clients. The number of my clients that have been homeless after bankruptcy is zero. You can expect to be turned down in applications to rent even if you make several applications. My recommendation is to persist until you find someone who is willing to rent to you.

Iam a 40 yr old man living in my parent's house. If I file for bankruptcy can my creditors expect my parents to pay my debts? I have about $30,000

It really depends on whether the debt is yours solely, or are your parents cosigners, named on any credit cards, or any other arrangement where your parents agree to guarantee the loan. A loan is a contract where one party agrees to give money at a certain time, and the other party agrees to repay the loan at a later date.  The contract can only involve the parties in interest.  As such, a creditor can only collect from the party or parties that acquire the debt.  If your parents were involved in the acquiring of the debt, then they may be held responsible for repayment.  If your parents did not help in acquiring the debt then they should not be help responsible.   This is not intended to be legal advice, and is general in its nature.  No attorney-client relationship exists or is formed by this information.  Furthermore, this does not represent the views or opinions of LexisNexis or its affiliated companies.
