Are judgments included in Chapter 7 bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Dorothy G. Bunce (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at A Fresh Start
Yes, you must list all court judgments in your bankruptcy. Judgments can be a complication especially if you own real estate, so make sure your attorney is familiar with liens and is aware that these debts are also judgments.

Can I file for bankrupcy if I co-own a house that my sister still lives in without losing the house?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
You and your sister can continue to own and keep the house so long as the mortgage payments are current. If you have equity in the house you must be able to exempt your equity. Otherwise, the trustee can sell the house to pay your creditors with your share of the unexempt equity. Your sister would get her share of the proceeds of the sale and your share will go to the trustee less the amount you were able to exempt (which will be paid to you). If you do have equity, make sure you consult with a lawyer before filing a bankruptcy case.

How does the deed in lieu get reported to the credit agencies?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Jeffrey M. Cook (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at J.M. Cook, P.A.
The mortgage company was more than likely not reporting on the loan since it was part of the bankruptcy. Therefore, there is a better than average chance, the DIL will not show up on your credit report. As to the "HFA mortgage", those requirements change all the time and will also be affected by whether the failed mortgage was an FHA mortgage. I would suggest you rent for a while until you build up a substantial down payment.
