Has the limit for secured debt increased with any of the goverment bailout programs? I live in CA and my debt exceeds the limit.

Hi Mary!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, the limit for secured debts has not increased. As per Chapter 13 rules, you shouldn't have more than $922,975 in secured debt. In case of unsecured debts, you should not have more than $307,675.

Hi mandy,

As far as I know, Chapter 13 bankruptcy will stay on your credit report for 7 years. It will also reduce your credit score by 200-250 points. The rules of Chapter 13 may vary from state to state.

Well, in bankruptcy, your back taxes will not be fully forgiven and you will be liable to pay them off. I would suggest you to contact your bankruptcy attorney and take his opinion in this regard.

Post     Post subject: 2008 taxes sent on april 15 2009

In filing my 2008 taxes this april 15th, I expect to owe $30,000 of which I don't have. I also have very large unsucered dept. I do own some property that would cover my taxes and a small portion of my other dept. My question is, under chapter 13 will I be able to include 2008 taxes, or to say my bankrupsy cannot procede until I have paid them? I read that the prior year to filing must be paid in full??? i have paid my 2007 taxes in full. Can someone please clairify? Please help. I know I wil have to file bankruptcy as I will no longer be able to magage my existing debt.

Hi jimmy!

Welcome to forums!

As far as I know, back taxes are not discharged when you file bankruptcy. You'll have to clear off your back taxes. If you are facing hardship in paying off the taxes, you can contact the IRS and go for a payment plan. This will help you in clearing off the taxes.

Feel free to ask if you have further queries.

When you go to the court, the bankruptcy court will judge your financial situation and then decide whether you would be able to file bankruptcy or not.

After filing chapter 13 bankruptcy filling, due I still have to pay taxes on foreclosed properties ( I have 2 properties, foreclosed on both) or this filling will shield me from paying taxes on the diferrence between the loan value and selling value/mkt value that is consider income for me next year.

Yes, you will have to pay the taxes. Bankruptcy will not help you in discharging your taxes.

Post     Post subject: Mortgage After Chapter 13

We will be one year into our chapter 13 in August. We are currently leasing our home and would eventually like to buy it. We have a good income (around 95,000/yr). About how long will it take us to find a mortgage company willing to take a risk on us? We have not accumulated any additional debt, so our monthly expenses are low. Thank you!

Welcome wagmore,

You can get FHA loan after 1 year of discharge of your Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If you are planning to take a conventional loan, you would have to wait for 2 years.
