If I filed chapter 7 on Dec 31 2016, do I need a defense for a motion for relief from automatic stay?

You should only respond to a motion to lift stay if you oppose it AND have a legal defense to the motion. Based on what you have posted, it sounds like you do not meet either criteria to pursue opposing the lift stay. But consult with your own attorney because it is unclear whether you have disclosed all the information needed to say for sure.

I filed for bankruptcy in 2005, can I file again now?

Answered by attorney Asaph Orion Abrams (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Asaph Abrams
Different variables may effect a different answer (see this San Diego bankruptcy attorney's website for detail), but your situation MAY correspond to this common fact pattern: If you filed a chapter 7 bankruptcy case in 2005 AND received a discharge (successful forgiveness of debt), then you can file another chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2013 (in order to receive a discharge), after it's been 8+ years after the filing date of the first chapter 7 bankruptcy. This answer (by San Diego bankruptcy attorney, Asaph Abrams) doesn't address all facts & implications of the question; it's general info, not legal advice to be relied upon. It creates no attorney-client relationship; it may be pertinent to CA and/or its Southern District Bankruptcy Court only, and it's independent of other answers. It may be time sensitive, as in past the "Use by" date: laws and case law change. Hire legal counsel before acting or refraining from bankruptcy/legal action.

How many years does a bankrupcy stay on my credit report?

Answered by attorney Jeffrey David Solomon (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Jeffrey Solomon
The bankruptcy would likely stay on your credit for 10 years, but that does not mean you have to wait that long to obtain credit. You might be able to obtain home financing in 2 years. You should contact a mortgage broker.
