What Happens With a Dismissed Bankruptcy?
There are several reasons that a bankruptcy case can be dismissed. The Bankruptcy Code allows most dismissed cases to be re-filed at any time, and most importantly – the debts that were included in the original case are not barred from discharge.
It’s important to note – once a bankruptcy case is dismissed, the automatic stay ends immediately, which means creditors are allowed to renew their collection attempts. Any liens or transactions avoided by the bankruptcy case are also reinstated.
