how do i change the status of a bankruptcy from closed without discharge to dismissed? mortgage underwriters require discharge or dismissal!

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by attorney Bankruptcy Attorney Mark J Markus   |   1 Answer   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Bankruptcy Attorney Mark J Markus
Why was it closed without discharge?  Typically the reason is a failure to complete and timely file the certificate for the post-filing Financial Management Course.  In that case, you can file a Motion to Reopen the case to file the certificate and have the discharge entered.   If that was the reason,  I can handle that for you.  The cost is $900 which includes the filing fees. If it was closed for some other reason, I would need to know the reason in order to advise what to do.  ... Read Answer

If I move out of the country am I obligated to keep paying my Chapter 13 if I am not working in that country?

Answered 8 years and 8 months ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
If you want to get a discharge in your Chapter 13, you have to keep paying on it. If you're now unemployed you may qualify for a hardship discharge and won't need to pay but you will need to file a motion for a hardship discharge.

If my landlord filed for bankruptcy and refuses to refund my deposit, can I still sue him in small claims court?

If your landlord filed a Chapter 13 or a Chapter 7 with nonexempt assets, the bankruptcy would no release him from his liability because he didn't list you as a creditor. You should speak with an attorney.... Read Answer
