Re: dismissal of chptr 13

If a bankruptcy petition is dismissed, the result is essentially as if the petition had not been filed at all. Thus, if a house was in danger of foreclosure at the time the petition was filed and the petition is dismissed, the house would re-enter that same danger of foreclosure.

Hope this helps.
