My husband and I filed Chapter 13 over a year ago. We would like to have it dismissed .
Asked on Jul 16th, 2013 on Bankruptcy - Mississippi
More details to this question:
We filed because our business was hurt by the downturn in the economy. We are working on a loan modification for our house. What would happen if we just decide to have the Chapter 13 dismissed?
If you dismiss your Chapter 13 case you will lose the protection of the automatic stay which prevents your creditors from taking actions to collect on debts.
Without knowing all the specific facts of your case, it's impossible to advise any further as to "what would happen" in your particular situation.
If you don't have an attorney, now might be a good time to at least have a consultation with one so you can get the necessary legal advice as to how best to proceed.
