You have a serious problem: You are in contempt of court and may well be subject to all types of legal processes and have your BK dropped. You need legal help immeadiately. YOUR AGREEMENT WITH THE COURT UNDER C13 WAS THAT YOU WOULD NOT INCUR ANY ADDITIONAL DEBT, OR CHANGE YOUR FINANCIAL SITUATION IN ANY MEANINGFUL WAY, WITHOUT GETTING THE CONSENT OF THE ADMINISTRATOR!!!!. You have defied the court agreement (and insulted those trying to handle your situation) that you made while begging them to protect you (that is probably the words used in your petition for Bk protection)....and you have acted foolishly in getting youself in more debt while you can't handle the obligations you already commited yourself too. You have serious troubles....get expert help today...do not think you will outsmart the system and all those you owe money to and who will lose it because of your actions...if your offended by this, it is simply proven by your apprent inability to manage to take care of yourself and comtinuing to make things worse for you and others. While your waiting for the professional you need to call you back....why not read the agreement and instructions you swore to abide by and made with the court and society?

At what point in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy is it considered final with no new debts eligible for discharge?
When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are responsible for listing all of your debts. Some debts are generally not dischargable (i.e. child support, most taxes, student loans, secured debts, etc.). When you receive a discharge for dischargeable debts, the discharge generally applies to debts listed in your bankruptcy filing and any subsequent amendments. The discharge does not apply to date incurred after you filed bankruptcy and generally does not apply to debts that you failed to list in the bankruptcy.
Are all debts automatically discharge in chapter 7 bankruptcy for a bankruptcy that occurred in 1988?
If a debt was listed on a Bankruptcy that you filed and the Bankruptcy went through then that debt is permanently discharged with a Chapter 7.
If you live in one state and have debts in different states can you file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy on all debts including them?
Yes. Bankruptcy is a Federal Government function. It effects debts in all states.
How does bankruptcy work?
It depends on what chapter you file under. There are separate types of bankruptcy for businesses and for individuals. The two chapters for individuals is chapter 7 and chapter 13. Chapter 7 discharges most debts but has more serious repercussions. Chapter 13 consolidates many debts to make one payment which is much more manageable. The attached article explains bankruptcy and compares chapter 7 and chapter 13.
What does a bankrupt discharge?
The chapter 7 discharge order eliminates a debtor's legal obligation to pay a debt that is discharged. Most, but not all, types of debts are discharged if the debt existed on the date the bankruptcy case was filed. (If this case was begun under a different chapter of the Bankruptcy Code and converted to chapter 7, the discharge applies to debts owed when the bankruptcy case was converted.) Some of the common types of debts which are not discharged in a chapter 7 bankruptcy case are: a. Debts for most taxes; b. Debts that are in the nature of alimony, maintenance, or support; c. Debts for most student loans; d. Debts for most fines, penalties, forfeitures, or criminal restitution obligations; e. Debts for personal injuries or death caused by the debtor's operation of a motor vehicle while intoxicated; f. Some debts which were not properly listed by the debtor; g. Debts that the bankruptcy court specifically has decided or will decide in this bankruptcy case are not discharged; j. Debts for which the debtor has given up the discharge protections by signing a reaffirmation agreement in compliance with the Bankruptcy Code requirements for reaffirmation of debts.

I had traffic tickets from 7 yrs ago that were sent to collections C O of the court I filed for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy those debts were discharged under the bankruptcy do I still owe the debts?
If tickets were discharged after filing for bankruptcy then someone would not owe on these debts.
How are chapter 7 and chapter 13 bankruptcy similar?
Both are for consumers, as opposed to businesses, but Chapter 7 absolves all debts, whereas debtors in Chapter 13 restructure their debts on 3-5 year plans.
Do you have to be working to file for bankruptcy?
There are three types of bankruptcy namely Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, and Chapter 11 Business Bankruptcy. Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge most types of debts for the average citizen. It will stay on record for ten years, but the major benefit is the stay it provides which prevents creditors from hassling you. On the other hand Chapter 11 bankruptcy is used by businesses, not citizens, to reorganize debts while Chapter 13 bankruptcy is wage earner's bankruptcy, which allows you to repay your debt through a plan. Among these three, Chapter 13 bankruptcy is considered as the best option for people with a steady income, who happen to have fallen behind in loan payments. idk and i dont give rats a**. hahahaha
What is the maximum amount of loans that can be filed on a chapter seven bankruptcy?
While there does not seem to be any limit to the number of loans or debts you can claim on a Chapter 7 Bankruptcy, there are restrictions as to the nature of your claims. Debts that will not be discharged include debts from alimony or child support, debts from accidents involving intoxication, educational benefit overpayment or loans made or guaranteed by any government department, debts for taxes, and certain debts for injuries caused by the debtor to another entity in a willful or mailicious manner. More information on Chapter 7 Bankruptcy rules and regulations is available at http://www.uscourts.gov.
What does it mean for a bankruptcy to be discharged?
You may be referring to the discharge of debts in bankruptcy. Not all debts can be discharged. Most discharged debts are partially discharged in Chapter 11 and Chapter 13 actions. Debts or the portions thereof that are discharged no longer exist at law and creditors no longer can attempt collection. It is a "fresh start". You attorney can advise you as to which debts are likely to be discharged, which ones reorganized, and which debts will likely not be discharged.
In chapter 13 bankruptcy do you have to pay your unsecured creditors 100 percent?
NO. Bankruptcy proceedings are used because you are not capable of paying 100% of your debts (otherwise your bankruptcy claim will be rejected by the court), and unsecured debts have greater chance of a lower amount of directed settlement from the bankruptcy trustee's work than secured debts (or certain excepted unsecured debts). Note that there is an excellent perspective book both about Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 bankruptcy: "The New Bankruptcy, will it work for You?" 3rd edition (published in 2009 by Nolo), by Stephen Elias (a bankruptcy attorney). In the public library system for Colorado Springs, I found it at 346.078 E42N (Dewey decimal system).
