Just like anything you had due, any asset, any receivable, before your BK this money is part of your pre-petition assets and subject to the creditors and court. The court probably said things similar to that in the documents you agreed too.

So, yes, just like not adhering to any court agreement, or any of the requirements of the bankruptcy YOU asked for to protect YOU from the people YOU promised to pay and haven't...

The court dismisses the case and protection is ended and no discharge of debts occurs. The creditors can then go back to using any legal means of getting paid all they were due (garnishment, seizure, etc).

The BK court will normally refer the matter (that you swore to act certain ways to them and didn't, failed to act as directed by a court, etc)...for criminal action, where fraud charges are the most common ones leveled. (Obviously, the court that will hear that case may seem offended by, and have a particular interest in making sure others don't think court orders can be ignored).

Can you file a chapter 11?

Yes, provided you meet the qualifications. Bankruptcy is a federal court process. It is designed to help consumers and businesses eliminate debt or repay debts under the protection of the bankruptcy court. Chapter 11 bankruptcy is a type of reorganization bankruptcy, like Chapter 13. Chapter 11 is available to individuals, corporations, and partnerships. It has no limits on the amount of debt, again, like Chapter 13. Chapter 11 is the typical bankruptcy choice for large businesses seeking to restructure their debt and become profitable again. Chapter 11 is the most flexible of all the bankruptcy chapters, which makes it generally more expensive to the debtor. The rate of successful reorganizations is very low.

First and foremost, the applicant has to decide with version of bankruptcy he/she/they are filing for. There are six types: Chaper 7, Chapter 9, Chapter 11, Chapter 12, Chapter 13, and Chapter 15. The most common is Chapter 11 and the process begins with the filing of bankruptcy paperwork to the appropriate court. This is done with an attorney or a qualified paralegal. From there, the applicant appears in court to answer questions from a bankruptcy judge and with all of the evidence gathered, waits for a decision. This can happen in a matter of days, weeks, or months depending on the circumstances.


How long after bankruptcy can you file chapter 7 and can you file chapter 13 after chapter 7?

You have to wait 2 years, in Tennessee anyway, between filings. = Ans == Bankruptcy is ALWAYS in a Federal Court and under Federal Laws. (Yes, some Federal Districts use the prevailing rules regarding some things in their area...like what may be personal property compared to real property, but the overall rules are universal). YOUR STATE GENERALLY MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. Bankruptcy laws were reformed in 2005 making the time limit between chapter 7 filings 8 years from the time of discharge and the time for filing a chapter 13 after a chapter 7 discharge 4 years.
