Since the bank does not want the property, if I pay off the back taxes, can I somehow keep title to the property?

Answered 9 years and 4 months ago by Atty. Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
I don't think you can be sure the bank does want the property back. They could acquire it at the tax sale. But in all likelihood, so could you.

Will the foreclosure appear with the credit bureaus, even though all were discharged years ago?

Answered 9 years and 4 months ago by Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)   |   5 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Although creditors are prohibited from reporting payment information on debts that have not been reaffirmed after a bankruptcy, with a foreclosure, the information is part of the public record and gets reported to the credit bureaus. So this information will legally appear on your credit report because the creditor or mortgage company is not placing it on your credit report. Other options are available to prevent this but require effort by you.... Read More

Not sure if I understand the question. If the company that filed Chapter 11 has to pay a mortgage, whether they pay interest on the mortgage, how much interest they pay, and when they pay it will be determined by the approved Chapter 11 Plan.

If I marry, can she apply for a home loan and include my income her credit score is over 800?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   6 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Income level and credit score are two entirely different things. For example, if a person with perfect credit and an income of $100,000 a year applies for a $2,000,000 mortgage with payments of $8,000 a month, they will be declined because their income isn't high enough to make the payments. On the other hand a person with a $100,000 and terrible credit would probably be declined on a $10,000 credit card. They have enough income to make the payments but their history shows they are unlikely to make the payments.... Read More

Can I get my car out of the impound if I file a chapter 13?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Atty. Richard B. Jacobson (Unclaimed Profile)   |   3 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
You can try. The problem is that the automatic stay of bankruptcy does not necessarily stop a police action. It may be that the impoundment of the car is not directly affected by the bankruptcy. Prevailing will require some very intelligent lawyering. I suggest you retain an experienced bankruptcy lawyer to represent you. It's almost always a good investment. Good luck.... Read More

Should we file bankruptcy or wait until after foreclosure?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mr. Rex K. Daines   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
It typically does not matter which happens first - the foreclosure or bankruptcy. If you are filing a bankruptcy together, that must be done prior to the divorce being final, otherwise, you will need to file (and pay for) two separate bankruptcies.

Can those creditors come after me if they didn’t file?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by attorney Mr. Rex K. Daines   |   8 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Not quite enough information to answer your question. If you listed a credit with a valid address at the time you filed the case, then it is the creditor's fault that they did not file a claim in time to get any of the chapter 13 money. If you did not list them with a good address or you listed them too late, then it is your fault and the debts will survive bankruptcy. Your attorney can provide you with a "BNC matrix" of the 341(a) meeting that shows who got timely notice of the bankruptcy filing.... Read More

Can I walk away and get another home and let the house go without messing up my credit again?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Richard N. Gonzales (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Speak to three different mortgage brokers. I think walking away will hurt your credit big time, although that is an option since you did not reaffirm the debt.

Could we possibly have this chapter 13 dismissed and file a chapter 7 so we can just simply move on with our lives?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Richard N. Gonzales (Unclaimed Profile)   |   4 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
Not sure why you filed a CH13 to begin with you. An option is to convert your case to a CH7. Speak to an experienced lawyer about your options. Most lawyers will charge you for the consultation since you are in a current pending BK.

Who owns a house after a Quit Claim/Bankruptcy?

Answered 9 years and 5 months ago by Ronald Karl Nims (Unclaimed Profile)   |   7 Answers   |  Legal Topics: Bankruptcy
You have no rights in the house but you are still liable on the mortgage. First thing to do is speak with a lawyer about whether the statute of limitations has passed for surfing you on the mortgage. Most mortgages are under a 6 year statute of limitations in Ohio. If you can still be sued, the only way out is to file a bankruptcy yourself.... Read More
