\n

\"Father<\/a>Bankruptcy usually includes all debts that are accumulated before<\/em> the bankruptcy petition is filed with the court. If there are new debts that are incurred after<\/em> you file for a Chapter 7 bankruptcy<\/a> or a Chapter 13 bankruptcy<\/a>, these are known as post-petition debts and cannot be included in your current bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

However, if you were to file another bankruptcy later, the new debts could be included in that petition. There are ways that you can amend your petition to add a creditor after the petition has been filed, but you must be able to prove that this debt was accumulated before the petition was filed.<\/p>\n

While in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must get permission from the court in order to incur new debt. This is done through a Motion to Incur Debt. You would need to file the motion to incur debt for anything from obtaining a new credit card to buying a new house. Say you were to get a new credit card while in a Chapter 13 and not tell the Trustee about it. The bankruptcy Trustee<\/a> could find out and you obtaining debt without the court\u2019s permission could cause problems. This could even possibly cause your bankruptcy to be dismissed<\/a>! If your bankruptcy is kicked out or dismissed you would be responsible for that new debt as well for the debt that was originally included in the bankruptcy. So, be smart and make sure to ask your attorney what you need to do if you believe you left someone off of your bankruptcy.<\/p>\n

The bottom line is you typically will not be able to include post-petition debts (debts incurred after your bankruptcy has been filed) in your bankruptcy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
