Can I stop my chapter 7 bankruptcy? How?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
The general belief among lawyers is that it is nearly impossible to dismiss a Chapter 7 voluntarily. However I have done so both times I tried although the debtors were in a position to pay virtually 100% of the claims. A lawyer can help, if anyone can. He or she should be experienced in bankruptcy. We all have 20-20 hindsight, but I bet you wish you had consulted a lawyer before you filed your Ch. 7. Your lawyer may advise you to convert to a Ch. 13. There are lots of important details to consider, and both merits and disadvantages to such a course, so you should discuss it in depth with someone who can take the time to seek out all the facts. Good Luck.

2005 bankruptcy law

Mark J Markus
Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
I'm not exactly sure what you mean by "held against you."   Assuming you received a discharge in your bankruptcy, it's not being held against you after that.  The fact that you filed a bankruptcy can be reported on your credit report for up to 10 years after the date your case was filed, but that shouldn't affect your credit very much. The credit reporting laws are not bankruptcy laws, so the "new" 10 year rule applies regardless of when you filed your bankruptcy case. Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

When do property liens expire?

Richard B. Jacobson
Answered by attorney Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Richard B. Jacobson Associates, LLC
You may be thinking of a particular class of property liens which you have not specified. For example a consensual lien such as a mortgage expires either when it is paid in full, or else when it is foreclosed. In some states, such as Wisconsin, a lien which arises because of a judgment against the owner, ordinarily expires after 10 years. Find an experienced bankruptcy lawyer; it's almost always a good investment.
