My bankruptcy was discharged on December 2008. I am aware that my appointed trustee will collect my income tax.

I would like to know when the trustee will take the proceeds and how he will take it.

Will he take it after the tax deadline which is April 15?

My husband wants to file bankruptcy, this is his first time. If he files bankruptcy does that affect my credit from prior to meeting him?

I was told by an attorney that foreclosure and bankruptcy on a mortgage is 2 different things. I know that you can not apply for another mortgage for 5 years after a foreclosure and that after a bankruptcy you can apply in 18 – 24 months but does it make a difference if there was a mortgage involved in that bankruptcy. My mortgage was never reaffirmed after my bankruptcy neither.

I know you can’t usually include student loans in a bankruptcy, but what if a person files for chapter 7 and then wants to go back to school? Will they be able to get loans for school?

Everything that i’ve read says that you can get a home after 1 year in a ch 13 bankruptcy, 2 years after ch 7 bankruptcy, and 3 years after a foreclosure. I am about to file a chapter 13, and wonder how long would I have to wait before I could purchase a home. Does anyone know the actual rule and could you point me to the website or where you got your information?

Not so sure if we’re actually going to have to file for bankruptcy or not, but my husband and I have talked about it before. I know vaguely what it is, and vaguely what it will do, but I’m not clear on all the details. Anyone care to enlighten me?

I filed over 2 and a half years ago and was discharged little over 2 years ago. My question is how long after I am discharged do I have the right to include someone in on my bankruptcy? Because 2 months after I was discharged one creditor that wasnt on my bankruptcy but I was deliquent at the time of the discharge is now reporting negative info to the credit companies.

In other words, my bankruptcy was discharged at the end of March, when will the credit report relect which accounts were thrown out in the bankruptcy?

Thanks!
DAS: I know that the items stay on the credit report, but they will have a note indicating that the were included in the bankruptcy so that any future creditors can see that the debt is not outstanding.
