If bankruptcy didn't reaffirm my home, can I still walk away anytime?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Orantes Law Firm
That is correct. If you did not reaffirm the debt secured by your house, you can walk away (and the bank cannot call a default and try to evict you as long as you are current on your house). This often leads the banks holding the note against a house not to report the monthly payments you are making it seems to be a strategy to force you to reaffirm, but Courts have ruled that they are not wrong in not reporting the payments.

What can I do if my bankruptcy case was dismissed?

Michael O'Leary
Answered by attorney Michael O'Leary
Bankruptcy lawyer at Hayward, Parker O'Leary
It really depends upon the facts surrounding the dismissal. You are not eligible to re-file a bankruptcy case for 180 days if (1) the case was dismissed because you failed to abide by Bankruptcy Court Orders, or (2) you voluntarily dismissed the case following the filing of a motion for relief from the automatic stay. In most other circumstances you could re-file immediately, although you will have to jump through a few hoops to get the automatic stay extended beyond the 30 day period after the re-filing. This may or may not be a problem, depending upon the type of bankruptcy that you file and what you are hoping to achieve by such a filing.

A debt resulting from a divorce decree cannot be discharged in Chapter 7. However, in some circumstances that debt can be discharged in Chapter 13.
