Can the creditors still contact me during bankruptcy?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Diann Curry Moseley (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Diann C. Moseley
Creditors need court permission to contact you after you file bankruptcy. However, I always advise my clients to allow time for the creditors to receive notification and update their system before getting too upset about the creditors contacting them after the case is filed. However, if the creditor is aware of the bankruptcy and chooses to ignore the restriction on contacting the debtor, then the debtor can file an adversary proceeding against the creditor.

Filing chapter 7 again

Cindy S. Vova
Answered by attorney Cindy S. Vova
Bankruptcy Chapter 7 lawyer at Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A.
Dear Ms. Krapf: You are correct that there is an eight year waiting period for one to file another Chapter 7 bankruptcy.  The time runs from the date you filed for bankruptcy not the discharge date.     That you filed together with your ex- husgand and now wish to file separately should not affect the time period, but the best thing you can do is talk to an attorney who specialized in bankruptcy in case there are any exceptions to the rule. Depending on the terms of your settlement agreement or trial (if you did not settle the divorce case) there may be issues as to whether any of the debts you seek to discharge will be  actually dischargeable in the bankruptcy if your ex is still liable on them as well.  However, absent review of the settlement/final judgment, there is no way to know for sure.  You should just be aware of that and discuss it with a bankruptcy attorney and/or a family law attorney.    Best of luck, Cindy S. Vova Law Offices of Cindy S. Vova, P.A. Broward/Miami-Dade:  954-316-3496 Boca Raton/Palm Beach: 561-962-2785
