What happens to a chapter 13 bankruptcy case when it is dismissed?
Also, your credit score will be negatively impacted following a dismissal because the bankruptcy case appears on your credit report even though you did not receive the benefit of completing the Chapter 13 repayment plan. It may be possible to reinstate or re-file your Chapter 13 bankruptcy case after a dismissal.
What happens to my credit if I file Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
If your bankruptcy case is dismissed and you do not receive a bankruptcy discharge, your bankruptcy will still appear on your credit report.

If you don’t get reinstated and file another bankruptcy later on, both bankruptcy cases will appear on your credit report.
Can a chapter 13 case be dismissed without prejudice?
Dismissal With and Without Prejudice. If the court dismisses your Chapter 13 bankruptcy, it can do so with or without prejudice. Most cases are dismissed without prejudice – meaning that you can file another bankruptcy case right away.
What happens if you fail to make Chapter 13 payments?
If you want to continue with your Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you must make timely plan payments to the bankruptcy trustee every month. The trustee keeps a record of all payments you make during your bankruptcy. If you fail to make your plan payments, the trustee will file a motion with the court to dismiss your case.
