What happens to a mortgage after a bankruptcy?
What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed.

How do creditors report your bankruptcy discharge?
The creditor reports to the credit reporting bureau(s) they belong to that the debt has been listed in a bankruptcy in which a discharge has been granted. Strictly speaking, any debt that a creditor does not challenge in timely fashion is probably discharged, unless the debtor has committed fraud during the bankruptcy. The court does not specifically determine that a debt is discharged unless an adversarial action involving the discharge of that debt has been heard and a decision by the court has been made.
