No. You can reopen and add the second as long as it was incurred prepetition.
An ex and I signed a lease for an apartment 2016, 3 months before the year was up we had to move out of state and didn't have the money to pay the rest of the lease. Of course there is an eviction on my credit (and probably his too). He and I broke up due to abuse and I have no idea where he... Read more »
You cannot file for bankruptcy on only one debt - all of your debts must be listed and are affected. You may want to consider seeing a debt settlement attorney in your area, perhaps you can work out a favorable settlement on this one debt.
They used this to file a complaint to stop my lawyer from filing a dismissal and filing a new chapter 7 as a way to force me to accept an offer to buy my house at a low price.
Unless they purchased the lien prior to filing bankruptcy, it is unlikely they can do so after the filing and leverage you.
If the business ends up failing and I have to file Bankruptcy will this new line of credit be able to be included in BK?
Yes.
Tried to back out of contract but bankruptcy lawyer is threatening I will be sued by sellers or bankruptcy court if I don’t follow through with sale.

All I can tell you is that the Bankruptcy Lawyer is motivated to get top dollar for their client. They need to sell the house for more than is owed on the... Read more »
Just take it to the lender when you leave town and drop the keys in the night deposit.
Also, if the bank will take the house for what's owed to them, can the surviving family take over the debt so that they can keep the house?

The house not having been foreclosed now belongs to who ever inherits the deceased owner's interest in the house subject to other claims by the deceased owners creditors which may or may not require a probate to sort out. Any foreclosure... Read more »
Liable was done with Malice and attempt to cause harm
I can't speak to the exact procedure in Oregon, but it's probably done by bringing an adversary proceeding to have the debt determined to be nondischargeable. You'll need an attorney for this.
What can I do and please tell me how to find FREE legal services in Portland Oregon? I'm asking for FREE services as my attorney took the money I had for filing my bankruptcy.

What problems will this cause my relative if I file.
It shouldn't cause a problem unless the purchase papers have some type of clause that triggers something when the co-signor files bankruptcy. You and the purchaser should review the purchase documents that you co-signed. I would be surprised if there was anything but since I can't... Read more »

Any payments you make on debts prior to your bankruptcy is probably money... Read more »
The debt is Legitimate.
Yes. It is legal.
It works so long as the co-buyer agrees and actually makes the payment.
Been living on same property paying rent with my girlfriend, what are my rights and what can I do ? She won't divorce cause of bankruptcy.
