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

Answered by attorney Theodore L. Araujo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Theodore Lyons Araujo
While you must wait at least 8 years between filing two chapter 7 (11 USC 727(a)(8)) bankruptcies (assuming you got your discharge) you need only wait two years between Chapter 13 cases (11 USC 1328(f)(2)) 4 years between a 7 and a 13 (11 USC 1328(f)(1)) and six years between a 13 and a 7 (if the percentage to the unsecured creditors was under 70%) (11 USC 727(a)(9)). Please make sure you consult an attorney because you must fall under the definition of a debtor and you may have to take extra steps not normally performed in a Bankruptcy in order to make sure you are protected by the automatic stay (11 USC 362 et seq.) These times may also be greatly shortened if you did not get a discharge in the first case.

How do I get a car back from a business owner in jail?

Answered by attorney Paul L. Whitfield (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Paul Whitfield and Associates P.A.
The "business owner" has a lien on the car if he did work on it. If you can go to his place of business and get the car back without violence, do it. The lien will die a natural death. If you owe money, pay it.

Can I file bankruptcy after starting a short sale?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney D. Nathan Davis (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Davis Law Firm
You can file bankruptcy after starting the short sale process. The question is why you may want to file bankruptcy? Short sales may help you buy another home in the future. Short sales may also cause you to have a tax liability from "forgiveness of indebtedness" income taxes. The lender agreeing to the short sale may also demand a judgment against you as a condition of agreeing to the short sale. The real estate agent and the lender always come out ahead. The reason is the agent gets a commission. The lender will not accept a short sale if less is received from the short sale than the lender believes it will receive after completing a foreclosure. You need to consult with an attorney to determine what is in your best interest. I expect the real estate agent and the lender who are knowledgeable about this situation to look after their interest. You need an attorney who will look out for your interest.
