Is there any other way to get my second mortgage filed into my original chapter 13 bankruptcy without starting over?

You can do a motion to modify plan but I HIGHLY recommend you pay someone to take a look at your case and give their second opinion. There is a BIG difference between the quality of lawyers out there.

If a creditor doesn't show up in a credit report and the debt has passed the statute of limitations do I need to include that creditor during filing?

If you have any question at all about whether a debt is collectible, it is always a good idea to list the creditor in your bankruptcy. It will not hurt you to list a debt that is no longer collectible, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Do I have to list back taxes on schedule E and F?

Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
The schedule where you place a debt does not affect the nature of the debt in any way, so I generally put all tax debt on Schedule E & lump everything together. With repect to collection companies, I list the current collector first & list the original creditor & former collectors underneath them as "additional notice parties" with a balance as $0. The court maintains statistical records as to the total unsecured debt & if each collector is listed as having the right to the entire debt, it messes up the report to the USDOJ & could result in claims being overpaid.
