We live in NC and filed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy on our personal side and a Chapter 11 Bankruptcy on the business side after COVID closed our business. Both my husband and I had upper 700’s for credit before before filing Chapter 7 and Chapter 11 Bankruptcy. Bankruptcy was confirmed in Feb ’21 and final decree was just issued on 11/12/21.

The SBA loan repayment will be repaid by end of 2022 but there is no penalty to repay early if we could refinance. Are we just out of luck with a refi and have to wait 2 years or is there any option to do a refinance now with a decent rate?
