Pretrial intervention or a conditional discharge.

Declared Ch13 and then Ch7 bankruptcy and had debts discharged but lien remains on property. 

@Michael Ohman   If you served in the Army and were honorably discharged you should definitely be able to use the VA Loan or the USDVA Loan my friend.....you earned it....whether you are still actvie duty....or not......you simply need to live in the property that you purchase with those two particular type of loans

Thank you Chris, and I must admit that I was not aware that medical bills were treated differently . sadly, I lost everything , house, truck, and had to file BR in chapter seven which is discharged but being self employed puts me at thevbottom of the food chain for now.

The replacement program was initiated because certain fire extinguishers can become clogged or require excessive force to activate, posing a risk of failure to discharge.

I was advised that it is likely that this owner is not paying his property taxes so I may have an opportunity to buy the tax certificate and push the foreclosure through, discharging the other liens (assuming that the fines are recorded as liens with the county, like you said).

I received a Discharge of Debtor dated 8/4/09 for Kevin Lee Geddes dba (long list)Case No:08-12724 AJ 7 Chapter: 7and Sunee Zrno GeddesStating: It appearing that the debtor(s) are entitled to a discharge, It is ordered: The debtor(s) are granted a discharge under section 727 of title 11, United States Code, (the Bankruptcy Code).

Pursuant to Section 3712 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, the tax deed conveys title to the purchaser free of all encumbrances of any kind existing before the sale, except:• Any lien for installments of taxes and special assessments, which installments will become payable upon the secured roll after the time of the sale.• The lien for taxes or assessments or other rights of any taxing agency that does not consent to the sale under this chapter.• Liens for special assessments levied upon the property conveyed which were, at the time of the sale, not included in the amount necessary to redeem the tax-defaulted property.• Unaccepted, recorded, irrevocable offers of dedication of the property to the public or a public entity for a public purpose, and recorded options of any taxing agency to purchase the property or any interest therein for a public purpose.Any federal Internal Revenue Service liens that, pursuant to provisions of federal law, are not discharged by the sale, even though the tax collector has provided proper notice to the Internal Revenue Service before that date....according to that, California tax sales doesn't seem pretty free and clear to me.

If the house isn't taken in bankruptcy and I sell it after discharge, will the bankruptcy court take anything over the $50k, and for how long?

and discharged CH 7's have little unsecured credit card debt.
