Who would lend me $10,000. on the equity of my home, since I filed bankrupcty 13?
It depends on how long ago the BK was, but it is a tough situation to lend on. I do not do stand alone lines of credit, but a colleague of mine might be able to help you. You can try her and see what she says. Her name is Laurie Caronia at PNC bank 312.640.2084

Terry,It depends on a number of other factors, including purchase price, credit, and debt to income ratio. If you have specific questions, I would be happy to answer them.Jason Wolkow
