If a loan is not reaffirmed in bankruptcy but you continue to voluntarily make payments can the loan company report you to the credit bureau if you're late with these payments?

According to my mortgage company, "no." However, the bad part is that you continue to accrue late charges and in the event you accidentally missed a payment, they don't make the standard courtesy calls. They cannot pursue the money once the BK is complete.

What is a reaffirmed mortgage?
A reaffirmed mortgage is one that was included in a bankruptcy but the homeowners get to keep the home instead of losing it back to the bank. The payments and length of loan may be adjusted.
What bankruptcy can you file to keep your home if you are behind in payments?
If you are behind in your payments and you declare bankruptcy usually you can remain in your home and continue payments. However the lender will most likely begin foreclosure since you can't afford it and you are at higher risk.
If you continue to make payments will bank continue to pay taxes and insurance from escrow if you do not reaffirm your mortgage after chapter 7 bankruptcy?
If you continue making the regular mortgage payments, including the escrow amounts, you are reaffirming the debt. It would be better to formally file a reaffirmation agreement that is approved by the court.
If your credit report indicates that your car loan was cleared by bankruptcy can you stop making payments?
Nan, why not ask your B/K attorney?? S/he is more familiar with your case than anyone else. The fact that you "thought" you reaffirmed indicates a possibility that you didnt.
If you file for bankruptcy and you cosigned for someone can the car loan be included in the bankruptcy if the person is not making their payments?

I had filed for bankruptcy 2yrs ago and it was dismissed. I have a zero balance on a auto loan that shows on my credit report. Do I still have to make my car payments?
If you reaffirmed your car loan during your bankruptcy, you agreed to continue making the payments. If you included your car in the bankruptcy, then the loan was wiped clean, as it appears to have been according to your credit report. Your car should have been repossessed, but apparently wasn't. You should check with the lawyer who handled your bankruptcy, but my guess is that your car slipped through the cracks.

We filed chapter 7 bankruptcy. When can the bank take the house?
When you either voluntarily give up the house or you stop making payments (foreclosure).
If an account is closed by a credit grantor why would the card holder continue to make payments after bankruptcy findings are closed?
The card holder is under no legal obligation for the card holder to continue making payments after filing for bankruptcy, unless the case is dismissed without a discharge. There are some who believe that they can improve their credit rating by pay off debts that were discharged in a bankruptcy, but I believe there are better methods to reestablish credit after bankruptcy.
If your truck was included in your bankruptcy but it was not reaffirmed however you continued paying on it but you don't want it anymore can you just take it to your creditor and leave it?
If you quit making payments your creditor will reprocess it, the same thing will happen if you just take back to them yourself. Anyway you do this it will show on your credit report. The best thing would be to try and sell it or get someone to take over the payments. You can call the creditor and tell them you do not want it. As long as it was incldued in your bankruptcy and not reaffirmed they must take it back. It can only be marked on your credit report as discharged through bankruptcy not taken as a repo. I did this with my car. Yes, you can do that. You will have to pay a dime. It wll be listed as backruptcy, not a repo.
If you filed bankruptcy separate from your spouse and have a hard time repaying your reaffirmed debt does that count against you?
My guess is that late payments on reaffirmed debt(s) affect one's credit the same as late payments on any revolving credit. 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.
Can the bank repossess a vehicle even if the payments are current?
Not IF you reaffirmed the loan with the creditor.
If you still owe a considerable amount on your car that isn't running should you continue to make the payments and insurance or voluntarily surrender it or sell it and take out a loan for the balance?
Sell or continue to make the payments. Do not let the car be repossed. This would hurt your credit and is the last thing to do.
If you continue to make payments will bank continue to pay taxes and insurance from escrow if you do not reaffirm your mortgage after chapter 7 bankruptcy?
If you continue making the regular mortgage payments, including the escrow amounts, you are reaffirming the debt. It would be better to formally file a reaffirmation agreement that is approved by the court.
Can a house be sold that was received in divorce that was not reaffirmed in ex-husbands bankruptcy?
This depends on how the house is titled and who is responsible for the mortgage payment. It can be foreclosed on if payments are defaulted the lender does not choose to reaffirm the loan. Or if the exemption does not protect the property, the Trustee can petition for a forced sale.
