Many have often wondered what the difference is between filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy and which one applies to their specific situation.

First and foremost, only individuals are eligible to file under Chapter 13 of the bankruptcy code. Corporations or partnerships CANNOT file under Chapter 13, whereas individuals, partnerships and corporations are all eligible under Chapter 7.

What is the procedural difference?

Under a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing, a Trustee is appointed to each case and put in charge of the bankruptcy estate. this means that the Trustee is in charge of gathering all of the debtor’s nonexempt assets, selling those assets, and using the proceeds to pay creditors.

Under Chapter 13, the debtor must present a plan wherein the debtor must use his or her “best efforts” to pay creditors for the duration of the plan, which is typically five years. one of the advantages of filing under Chapter 13 is that the debtor can pay off arrearages owed on real property secured loans over a period of five years.

Only individuals, as opposed to partnerships or corporations, can receive a discharge under Chapter 7 and remember, discharge is only for unsecured debt. Liens are never discharged and can be enforced despite a Chapter 7 bankruptcy filing. Also, even if an individual is eligible for a discharge of his or her debts, certain types of debts cannot be discharged (e.g., child support arrearages).

Under Chapter 13, the debtor receives a full discharge ONLY if he or she completes the terms under his or her proposed plan.

Remember, each case is different. to determine if bankruptcy is the right choice for you, you should seek the advice of an experienced attorney. Call (714) 497-3150 today to schedule a free consultation and debt evaluation with Attorney Maria T. Reid.

Is it mainly unsecured debt?

I assume the paralegal service would be cheaper.

What would happen if they screwed it up and it got thrown out? would that be an expensive problem?

Or can you afford to refile it after that?

TUMWATER – A nearly 5-year-old bankruptcy case with ties to the former Olympia brewery is at or near its completion, and it appears that the case won’t end well for creditors, according to court documents filed in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Western District of Washington.

Court documents that authorize disbursement of funds show that creditors in the case will receive no money and that $71,749.60 will go toward the administrative costs of the bankruptcy.

At issue is a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case filed in December 2006 in which creditors who were owed money by a company called all American Bottled Water Corp. forced it into involuntary bankruptcy to try to recover those funds. all American and its principal, L. Eric Whetstone, acquired the former Olympia brewery after borrowing money from a California-based lender, then set out to bottle water at the former plant.

That plan never materialized, and soon Whetstone and his association with the brewery property were embroiled in controversy.

Michael Hitt, a trustee for the bankruptcy case, could not be reached Friday, and mark Bruun, a principal of a Portland-based contractor called Lorentz Bruun Co., also could not be reached.

Lorentz Bruun was hired to do work on the brewery after all American bought the property. the contractor is the bankruptcy’s largest creditor, owed about $2.77 million. Other large creditors that won’t receive any money include the law firm Davis Wright Tremaine LLP, which was owed about $978,000, and the Thurston County Treasurer’s Office, which was owed $126,000.

That’s not to say Hitt hasn’t tried to recover money for the creditors in the bankruptcy case.

Since 2006, Hitt has filed six lawsuits against companies and individuals to recover funds in the case. he has sued Whetstone, a California-based lender called RE Loans LLC, Bank of America and a company called International Racehorse, court records show.

It wasn’t clear Friday whether the $71,000 that will be spent to cover administrative costs was raised from those lawsuits.

No money for creditors in bankruptcy case with ties to former brewery – Business – The Olympian – Olympia, Washington is a post from: Chapter 7 Bankruptcy Information

I am currently 15 months off my Chapter 7 bankruptcy being discharged and I now have 3 credit cards with zero balance and a Car loan which has been paid on time every month.

I make 55k a year and am wanting to buy a home and stop renting. Do you believe I will be able to get a home mortgage?
If so, what type of interest rates would you suspect I would get or type of payment with taxes based on a 150k home loan? I live in El Paso Texas.
Thanks!

Fill out a lending tree app online.. It is no pressure, no obligation and will give you an idea.

Provided you qualify otherwise you will, but be prepared to pay a much higher rate than normal. After 3 years following your discharge the rates bump down, and then after 5 years you should not have to pay the penalty rate provided of course you've kept a clean credit record.

I'm sure you'll be able to get a mortgage, but with a very high interest rate. maybe 7.63 % because you are still at risk. just be sure to deal with a bank rather than these prime-mortgage dealer. they will take you for all the money you have and will not be willing to work with you should an emergency arise.

Most reputable lenders will want to see your bankruptcy discharged for two years with reestablished credit. In my area, they won't come near you unless two years have elapsed. you will pay a higher interest rate this fresh off the bankruptcy. I really cannot give you a ball park b/c I don't live in Texas, but I've seen new bankruptcies pay about 4% higher interest than everyone else.

When you want to rebuild your credit after bankruptcy and get a home loan the sooner you start the better. You've been doing the right thing so far and your income is OK.

The best advice I can give is to start shopping around and don't be put off by refusals. if you get an offer, even if the interest is high, take it and pay it off regularly. After a couple of years of good credit you can refinance at a lower rate.

There's a website here with advice on this topic which I hope will help.

Good luck!

Absolutely! you didn't have to wait for the Ch 7 to be removed. Trust me, I purchased a home less than 2 years after filing for bankruptcy.

I would start with pulling your credit from all three agencies, make sure the accounts listed are yours. once you have verified everything, get your score. anything over 620 is eligible for a mortage. The higher the score, the lower the mortage rate will be.

If what you have indicated is true, then your score is probably higher than what you think.

$150k = $1200 with PITI (this is just a guestimate)

Good luck!
