QUESTION

What happens if I’m behind few mortgages?

Asked on Feb 11th, 2015 on Bankruptcy - Colorado
More details to this question:
I file chapter 7 in 2010. I was behind few mortgages and divorce. After I was discharged, the court appointed an attorney to look up my case. After 4 years and taking my motorcycle and boat, he decided to file to undo my bankruptcy. Knowing that all my mortgages notes have been satisfied, I don’t have any other debts.

Five years later, they are filing to revoke your discharge? This would reinstate all the debts that you had prior to the bankruptcy.

Without knowing more, this question does not make sense. An attorney does not have the authority to undo a bankruptcy. However, the law enforcement division of the US Trustee has attorneys on staff who might file paperwork to determine that you violated bankruptcy and probably criminal laws. Worrying about your mortgage is probably the least of your concerns if this is the case. A judge will decide if there is enough evidence to find that your bankruptcy was invalid. The next step might well be a referral to the US Attorney for prosecution in the criminal courts of the US. In other words, they will make a federal case of it.

What you are saying doesn't make a whole lot of sense, unless the lawyer you are referring to is the trustee assigned to your case. It sounds as though you filed without the benefit of attorney representation. If you had a lawyer, you should be contacting him or her to figure out what is going on. If you did not have a lawyer, it is time to gather all your papers and go consult with one. It might be too late to help, but on the off chance that there is something that could be done to salvage your case it would be worth the cost of a consultation.
