Is it too early to refinance or do we have to wait for the 10 year period?

Answered by attorney Thomas Anthony Vogele (Unclaimed Profile)

There is so much misinformation, most of it urban legend, about what a discharged debtor can and cannot do. There is nothing preventing you from borrowing, refinancing or doing anything else post-discharge. The impediment is the other side of the transaction. Banks often will not lend to those who have filed a Chapter 7 case, at least on terms that don't punish the former debtor for their "transgressions." Bankruptcy itself does not prevent you from refinancing for ten years. A bankruptcy stays on your credit for ten years and thus makes it harder to get a loan, refinance a loan or do anything else that involves checking your credit report. By the way, anyone who promises you to get your bankruptcy removed from your credit report in exchange for a fee is both a liar and a crook that should be avoided and reported to the authorities. Good luck and expect to pay a higher rate than what borrowers with good credit pay.

Answered by attorney Stuart M. Nachbar
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Stuart M. Nachbar, P.C.
In NJ it depends on your filing date and type of chapter you want to file. It is 8 years from first date of filing till next one but only 5 years for a chapter 13.
