Typically, after a bankruptcy case you need to take affirmative action to build your credit. There are many ways to rebuild your credit such as a secured credit card, taking a higher interest car loan, or having a co-signer with you on a loan.
Good luck to you.
I want to add my name on the deed now. Will my old collectors be able to put a lien on my house now? How do I know for sure that all the debts were wiped completely off with the bankruptcy?
If you listed all your "old collectors"/creditors names and addresses on your prior bankruptcy schedules filed with the court, and the bankruptcy court has entered its Order of general discharge, then you're good/safe, and if any of your old discharged unsecured creditors attempt in... Read more »
The answer should be yes, but unfortunately, there is a chance that an attorney that passed the bar isn't well versed in client confidentiality.

You definitely need to talk to a bankruptcy lawyer, now. A good lawyer will want a complete picture of your situation before suggesting the best plan.
the proceeds? I am a 100% PT disabled veteran with a wife and kids.
If your Ch. 13 plan has been confirmed, and I assume it has after 2 years, what you do with the assets you retained under your plan should not require an adjustment of the confirmed plan payments.
In my district, in eastern PA, the Ch. 13 trustee is proactive, and if a sale of the house is... Read more »
You don’t have to list it at all, but I’d put it under Statement of Finsncial Affairs.

Yes. They can sue you for anything short of your full agreement.
How can I get his name off the discharged mortgage? I have the quitclaim deed and divorce paperwork showing it is mine. Im sick of him being able to access mortgage info as well as things being mailed to him from the bank. The property is in VA.
You can only accomplish this by refinancing the mortgage. Now is a good time because the rates are so low.
The bank has no obligation to release the lien of the mortgage unless it was stripped in bankruptcy.
Good Luck: go see a lawyer.

I want to file objection to discharge based upon willful/malicious damage of property. How difficult is it to meet the standard. If have pictures,and property mgr that would be willing to testify.
You should hire a bankruptcy lawyer to handle it for you. You may be able to win but you need legal assistance.
Can I keep the car and keep making payments on it during chapter 7
Almost always, yes.
If the car was say a 2018 Bentley and you only owed two more payments--with something like that the bankruptcy trustee would sell your car. But if you owe about what it's worth, the trustee isn't interested.
Now if your car is financed by Ford... Read more »
The bankruptcy is for credit cards and medical bills only
The answer is yes. Of course whether or not you are in a community property state or not also effects how much a trustee can do. Basically the trustee owns the excess equity in any Chapter 7 case. Filing the case gives that equity to the trustee at the moment of filing and it cannot be undone... Read more »
I live in VA and have a Chase credit card and a Chase vehicle loan. If I default on my credit card, but remain up to date with my vehicle loan, can they repo the vehicle?
Depends on whether there is a wraparound security interest in the car tied to the credit card.
No.
My home is paid for and worth about $65,000. I need to file chapter 7 bankruptcy on about $60,000 worth of credit card, doctor bill and vehicle debt. My only income is $1,388/month child support. Will I lose my home? I can't afford to move out and rent.

Consult a bankruptcy petitioner near you to discuss your options. Depending on the amount of equity you have in the property, you may need a Chapter 7 or 13.
Am I protected in any way?
Not from the firing. If you lose appeal, you can petition court to reduce Ch 13 payments.
The LLC that we have invested fund in our EB-5 case, has terminated. Our case is still waiting on response from USCIS for I-526. The case has been received in 2016 and I don't know when the company is terminated.
Consult an immigration attorney immediately.
