Can you file bankruptcy on a second mortgage and multiple credit cards and keep the home?
Normally, a debtor can file bankruptcy on credit cards and keep their home, but cannot file bankruptcy on any mortgages and keep the home since even a second mortgage holder has the right to foreclose if they are not paid (this is of course assuming there aren't other issues in the case, such as too… much equity to keep the home, credit cards recently incurred that are declared non-dischargeable, being behind on mortgage payments, etc.). However, the laws of the particular district in which a debtor resides may provide some exceptions to this general rule. You can get rid of a second mortgage and still keep your property if you file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy. If the debtor can show that the second mortgage is completely unsecured (i.e. the debtor owes more on the first mortgage than the real estate is worth) then you can file a mortgage stripping where the second mortgage is stripped of its lien on the property and you can pay a smaller percent on the mortgage than if it was a secured debt. (src: http://bankruptcylansingmi.com/utilizing-bankruptcy-remove-second-mortgage/ ) This same case law is not applicable in other jurisidctions, so one would have to investigate the laws of their particular district to see what options their jurisiction provides. Please note that nothing in this posting or in any other posting constitutes legal advice; this is simply my understanding of the facts, which I do not warrant, and I am not suggesting any course of action or inaction to any person but my opinion is that you should immediately consult with a chapter 13 bankruptcy attorney.

Can you get financed for a mortgage if you are a first-time home buyer but filed Chapter 7 bankruptcy?
Yes, if it's has been more than 2 yrs. since your bankruptcy and you've paid all your current bills on time. Answer I am a mortgage banker and I've made helping people with bankruptcies my specialty. I'd like to correct the person who posted above me, for an FHA loan you must wait 2 years after d…ischarge. But you do NOT have to wait 2 years, you can actually qualify for up to 100% financing 1 day after a discharge of your bankruptcy, literally a single day out of discharge. You can also qualify for a loan while you are still in a chapter 13 re-payment program as little as 1 year from your filing date. You don't have to wait until your chapter 13 is paid off to get a loan or refinance your existing one and the best part is that you can payoff your chapter 13 balance during the refinance using equity from your property.

Can you file bankruptcy on credit cards and not the mortgage?
Answer .
The credit card debts were (doubtlessly) incurred honestly. The cards were used to make purchases and, in accordance with the cardholder agreement, the cardholder agreed to pay the issuing company for the things that were bought, plus interest. Use of the card means the cardholder owes t…he card company. It's just that simple. Now the cardholder wants to make a case in court to justify why the debt cannot be settled. The court is obligated to consider the facts. All of them. And apply the law to the facts. If a person has credit card debt, he can't simply declare an inability to pay them and fairly expect the credit card company to write off the debt. If an individual owes a debt and cannot (or will not) settle it, his assets can be attached. That's the underlying idea, like it or not, and the court will operate from this premise. Laws vary from place to place, but the basics are the same. If someone owes you a considerable sum and cannot or will not pay, you'd go to court to collect it and expect the court to force the individual to pay or to forfeit assets to make good on the debt. Why would the reverse situation, this situation right here, not be the same? Bankruptcy offers indebted individuals some options for damage control, but these are best sorted out with a professional. There are many of them, and they know the state law as regards sorting these things out. Most of them will offer free or low cost advice, at least upon an initial consultation, and their knowledge and experience should not be sold short. None of this is legal advice. It's common sense. Lastly, if I cut my finger, I wash the cut and apply a band aid. If I break my leg, I go to the doctor (or emergency room physician) for treatment. The more substantial the consequences of a given situation, the more inclined one should be to seek out professional services. (MORE)

you can have a car in your name as long as the retail value in $500.00 or less. I know this because I just filed and my lawyer just told me that**** Second answer: This is serious business. You really should check with a local lawyer - I think that Bankruptcy is governed by Federal law, but diff…erent states may have additional protections for their residents.

Will filing bankruptcy eliminate mortgage debt?
Bankruptcy can eliminate a mortgage debt however normally bankruptcy is not necessary to eliminate a 1st trust deed. The home simply can go back to the lender in a foreclosure. Bankruptcy may be necessary to resolve a 2nd mortgage or trust deed. A 2nd trust deed will not normally bid at a foreclosur…e sale and it will become a unsecured debt which can be discharged in bankruptcy. Under chapter 13 bankruptcy if the home is worth less than the first trust deed it is possible to eliminate the 2nd trust deed completely. You must see an experienced competent bankruptcy attorney to accomplish this. ans Bankruptcy involves everything you owe and everything you own. No exceptions. YOU DO NOT PICK AND CHOOSE. Basically, all your assets are used to pay your all debts. Obviously, it is unfair, and not the intention of BK to let you keep the assets of value you want, and escape paying for the things you don't want to pay for. Nor can one debtor be treated preferentially to others. After all things are listed, they are given different legal priorities. Somethings of each are excluded (like your personal furniture can't be taken, nor can child support be discharged). They must be listed to be given the proper handling by the court. Not doing so has severel very bad implications: First, you swear to the court that you are doing so and not doing is a criminal act, prosecuted as fraud. Anything not listed isn't protected...and the entire case can be dismissed. The proceeds from assets that a secured debt are attached to, like a mortgage to a house or car loan to the car, are first entirely used to pay those specific debts. any excess still owed becomes an unsecured claim against all the other assets. In a C-13 a payment plan encompassing all the debts is made and administered by the court....if at the end of the plan a debt is still owed it may be discharged, although secured loans still have the asset to turn to and sell for recovery.

Can you buy a home before filing for bankruptcy?
