QUESTION

Can someone elaborate on chapter 13 dismissal and how it works?

Asked on Nov 12th, 2012 on Bankruptcy - Florida
More details to this question:
I filed for a chapter 7 back in September and am in the midst of converting to a Chapter 13. I've since decided I want to back out of the bankruptcy process as it has become very stressful and trying on me. From my understanding, once it converts to a Chapter 13, I have right to dismissal.

When your chapter 13 gets dismissed you will revert to the status quo you had before you filed the chapter 7. In other words, all of your creditors will get notified of the dismissal and can try to collect money from you again.

You have an absolute right to dismiss your Ch 13. Its fairly simple I think you should talk to your attorney.
