Do I need to amend the petition if I changed my mind in keeping the house?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
You can amend just the Statement of Intention, but in my opinion, whether you do this or not won't really matter. This statement has nothing to do with whether the mortgage debt will be discharged in your bankruptcy. Nothing is automatic - once the bankruptcy is over, you will still own the property and be legally responsible for any expenses related to ownership, such as HOA dues & property taxes, until your name comes off of the title. Your name won't come off of the title until a final foreclosure sale, short sale or deed in lieu of foreclosure.

I file chapter 13 once, how many years do I have to wait to file bankruptcy again?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Deborah A. Stencel (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Deborah A. Stencel
In general, you can a file a 13 at any time that you are not already in an active bankruptcy. Whether any debts will be discharged in a 13 depends on when a previous was filed IF if it was completed successfully. Whether you can file after a previous case was dismissed may also depend on whether a bar to re-filing was placed on you. You don't give enough facts for me to be sure whether fall into either category.

Can a debt settlement company drop me before the creditors listed have been settled after I paid them?

Janice Fabiana Alfred
Answered by attorney Janice Fabiana Alfred (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at South Atlanta Family Law
You should consult with a contract attorney about your rights in relation to the debt settlement company. In the meantime, you will need to respond to the complaint filed by the creditor to avoid a default judgment against you.
