I filed chapter 7 in 2005 how long due have to wait to filed again if need to

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
How long you have to wait to file between bankruptcy cases depends on which chapter you want to file next.  For another chapter 7 you would need to wait 8 years from the date your prior Chapter 7 case was filed.  You could file a Chapter 13 case now.   Actually, to be completely accurate, those are the dates you'd need to file if you want to be able to discharge debts.  However, you could file under any chapter at any time (assuming you meet the other requirements of each chapter).  You just might not be able to discharge your debts.  Mark Markus has been practicing exclusively bankruptcy law in California since 1991.  He is a Certified Specialist in Bankruptcy Law by the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization,  AV-Rated by martindale.com, and A+ rated by the Better Business Bureau.

How the condo will remove from my name after bankrupcy?

Answered by attorney Mark J Markus
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Mark J. Markus
This is a common dilemma and the answer will likely depend on the laws of your state.  Typically, the way we deal with that out here in California is to have the owner tell the condo association (HOA) that they are no longer living there, no longer enjoying the use of the common areas, etc., and provide them the keys to the unit.  That should prevent any further debts accruing to the HOA. Of course selling the property is another way to eliminate this problem, either by foreclosure or regular sale, but that isn't always an option, especially since you have no control over the foreclosure process.   You may want to offer your mortgage holder a deed in lieu of foreclosure to take back the property.  That would also accomplish what you seek.

Do I have a right to an itemized bill request from the hospital?

Answered by attorney Daniel A. Edelman
Bankruptcy lawyer at Edelman, Combs, Latturner & Goodwin, LLC
You can certainly refuse to pay. There is no time limit to respond to a validation request. They just have to validate before doing anything more to collect. The burden of verification is minimal. You are better off requesting an accounting/ medical records under state law. Hospital bills are often very difficult to prove.
