Bankruptcy lawyer at Kenneth A. Parker, PC
In order to be eligible for a Chapter 7 Discharge, you will need to wait 8 years from the date you filed your Chapter 13 case. If you filed in 2005, you can file a Chapter 7 in 2013. It is date specific, so if you filed you Chapter 13 on February 12, 2005, then you will need to wait until February 13, 2013.

What can the creditors of unsecured credit cards do if I am unemployed?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney David C. Ayer (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at AyerHoffman, LLP
Your unsecured creditors may file suit against you for breach of contract, obtain a judgment, and seek to enforce that judgment. They may place liens on property you own. They may wait to enforce the judgment until you have income again, then seek a garnishment of your wages. Judgments in Massachusetts are valid for 20 years and can be renewed after that period has expired. Check to see if there is a homestead filed for your house which will protect the equity you have in it. If possible, contact your creditors and try to work out a payment plan. If this doesn't work, consider consulting a bankruptcy attorney. You cannot be put in jail for your debts, although it is possible to be arrested by a constable should you fail to show up for a court appearance in a supplementary process action (part of the judgment enforcement process) and it is possible to be held in contempt of court and jailed.
