How do I get a bankruptcy off of my credit report?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Robert Jason De Groot (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at R. Jason de Groot, P.A.
You do not get a bankruptcy off of your credit report. Your credit after filing bankruptcy depends upon the lending practices of the institutions that you apply for credit with. Find a bank who will loan you money in spite of the bankruptcy. You see, you cannot file bankruptcy again for around five years, so anyone who lends you money has that assurance that the debt will be repaid.

Is there any possible way to keep a car when filing a chapter 7?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Questions about keeping a car are the most common concerns that people have when considering bankruptcy. Cars that are financed are seldom at risk of being taken away by the bankruptcy process (unless the equity in the vehicle is very large), but the car can be repoed by the finance company if you don't make the payment and if you don't reaffirm the vehicle loan. In Nevada, your vehicle would need to have equity of more then $15K to be at risk.

Is there a time limit to get a case number after you have retained a lawyer to avoid creditor contact?

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
The case number is issued after your case has been filed. If you hired an attorney solely to avoid creditor contact, and not to file a bankruptcy, there would not be a case number. If you did hire them to file bankruptcy, then the time period depends on what you and the attorney agreed to.  What does it say in your retainer agreement?  Have you provided the attorney all the requested documentation and information for them to prepare your case?  Have you paid all the fees?   I am not really sure what your issue is and there's too much missing information to guess.   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.
