Also filing for Chapter 7 BK, may stop you from collecting your payment today, but the Buyer(s) will need to either reaffirm with you or move.Unfortunately, if the buyer does take the home and/or debt into Chapter 7 BK, you are out the money, to include back payments while they were living in the home. You will be sent a letter from the court giving you a chance to address the court on the debt. You may have information that may keep the Buyer(s) from filing Chapter 7, but you would need to attend court to find out.

Under the bankruptcy laws effective on October 17, 2005, Chapter 7 cannot be filed unless the debtor was discharged from the previous Chapter 7 or bankruptcy more than eight years ago. The debtor cannot file a Chapter 13 unless: (1) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 7, 11 or 12 more than four years ago; or (2) the debtor received a discharge under Chapter 13 more than two years ago.
Chapter 7 is the most common form of bankruptcy being filed by consumers and businesses. Under Chapter 7, you may eliminate most of your debt including credit card bills and loans through liquidation of assets, however, most consumers end up debt without the loss of their home or other valuables. Chapter 11 is usually filed by businesses than individual people due to the high costs that surround it. By filing for Chapter 11, a business is allowed to re-organize, strike deals with creditors, and liquidate assets. Chapter 13 appeals to both business and consumers and unlike Chapter 7 which eliminates the debt, Chapter 13 requires you to create a re-payment plan. If you were unable to repay all debts in the given time of 3-5 years, you may be allowed to restructure the filing to a Chapter 7 filing.
You can file either Chapter 7 or Chapter 13 as a homeowner. If you are trying to save the home from foreclosure, then Chapter 13 would be the proper chapter.
If the home has been sold to a third party, you cannot keep it. If the home has not been sold, you may be able to keep it, but you will have to pay the mortgage arrears, including legal fees and costs unless a court orders otherwise. You may still have problems paying the mortgage, so think about whether you can afford to keep it.
