Your matter might remain open if the trustee is selling some of your property. You can expect real estate to take longer to sell than other types of assets. You'll likely receive your discharge once you complete all of the steps outlined above. The case will remain open until the trustee sells the property, distributes the funds to creditors, and submits a final report to the court.
A motion or complaint needs resolution. If you're a part of litigation in the bankruptcy court, whether you'll receive a discharge before the lawsuit is settled will depend on the type of dispute. For instance, a disagreement about your ability to exempt your stamp collection won't affect or delay your discharge.
But if your creditor files a complaint to determine the nondischargeability of a debt asks the court to find that you must pay it , or objects to your entire bankruptcy, you won't receive the discharge until the matter gets resolved. Plan on the lawsuit adding six or more months to your case. You want to discharge a student loan. Wiping out student loan debt requires a special process, including filing a complaint alleging that repaying the debt would cause undue hardship.
You'll need to either settle with the lender or prove your case at trial before receiving the discharge. Some student loan discharge cases can drag on for a year or more. Learn more about getting rid of student loan debt in bankruptcy.
You delay your debt education course. Before the court orders your discharge, you must take a personal financial management course and file the certificate of completion with the court. If you delay completing this class, your discharge will be postponed. If you delay too long, the court will dismiss your case without a discharge. Talk to a Bankruptcy Lawyer Need professional help?

In a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, these accounts should fall off your reports seven years from the date you filed, unless the accounts were delinquent before the bankruptcy filing date then they could fall off sooner. A Chapter 13 bankruptcy is a little different. In a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you agree to a repayment plan that usually takes place over three to five years.
A completed Chapter 13 bankruptcy and the accounts included in it should disappear from your credit reports seven years from the date you filed. Accounts that were delinquent before the bankruptcy filing may be removed from your reports sooner. Another thing you should know is that lenders may look at Chapter 13 bankruptcy a little more favorably than Chapter 7, because with Chapter 13 bankruptcy you normally agree to repay at least some of your debt.

I have been discharged from my first and only bankruptcy 6 years and 1 weeks now. It have been remove from equifax last time I check. But why does it still appear on transition. Can i do something about it. Do I have to says to the bank I had declared bankruptcy 6 years ago if they ask. Sorry, but each of the credit reporting agencies has their own policies and procedures for removing information.
All I can suggest is you contact Trans Union directly and ask them when the bankruptcy will stop appearing in your report. It is what it is…. Hello, I filed for bankruptcy 4 years ago.
My question is that, since i am still bankrupt and not discharged, is there a way to file for a consumer proposal so at least i can start paying my debts? A bankrupt may file a consumer proposal, BUT the date for establishing your debts is the date you filed you bankruptcy. You cannot add any new debts accumulated since that date. Your best bet will be to contact the trustee than handled your bankruptcy and find out what you need to do in order to be discharged. Then once you are discharged from your bankruptcy you may file a consumer proposal or even a second bankruptcy if that makes the most sense.
If I filed personal bankruptcy in am I eligible to apply to buy a house as a co owner in with the other co owner having top credit rating with income of g a year if I am putting 30g as a down payment?
Hi Trevor. Assuming you are discharged from bankruptcy, you can buy whatever you want. So to answer your question, there is nothing preventing you from buying a house, other than the requirements of the lender. I filed for bankruptcy in but never completed it because I found out it would hurt my chances of getting a mortgage. My credit is good now, what do I do now?. Option B sounds easier, BUT to have the bankruptcy annulled you need to show you were not eligible to file in ie you were not insolvent at the time or you have to prove to the Court that all of your debts from have been repaid in full.
So contact the trustee firm that helped you in and see if they will assist you now to follow option a, or hire a lawyer and ask them to deal with option b for you. You may of course simply do nothing and carry on as you have been.
Hi Ted! How does bankruptcy work for those on government assistance? Most trustees, ourselves included, will adjust the basic fees for persons with limited income. A Court will not allow someone you owe a debt to garnishee take payments from your assistance.

Therefore I never finalized the bankruptcy. I have been trying to get it done in the last few years so I can move on with that part of my life. What are my options to resolve this. If the official receiver found you had money left over each month after you paid your essential living costs, they may have set an income payment arrangement IPA. If you had an IPA set, the last payment will be somewhere between three and four years after your bankruptcy, although you can still be chased for any missed IPA payments after this.
Details of your bankruptcy will be removed from your credit file which is used to calculate your credit score. All your creditors should have updated your credit file to list the debts which will be defaulting on or before the date of your bankruptcy.
This means all the debts you had before your bankruptcy should now have disappeared from your credit file too. For most people, getting credit again will become much easier from this point. If the official receiver applied a bankruptcy restriction undertaking BRU or order BRO for more than six years, because you acted dishonestly, your bankruptcy will still appear on your credit file until this ends.
If the official receiver found you had done something seriously dishonest, they may have imposed a bankruptcy restriction undertaking BRU or order BRO for up to 15 years. This could start any time before you were discharged, so the end could be up to 16 years from the date of your bankruptcy. This type of action is rare, and would only normally happen with high-value fraud or other criminal activity.
Details of your bankruptcy were recorded in The Gazette at the start. They stay in The Gazette records forever and can be searched by looking through back editions, or by searching online.
