If I file for bankruptcy can I still refinance my mortgage?
You would probably be better off refinancing your mortgage first and then applying for bankruptcy later on. My mom had to file for bankruptcy due to credit card debt she could not pay.
If the mortgage was reaffirmed but on your credit report it appears as Bankruptcy is this an error?
Yes, a reaffirmed mortgage needs to reflect the mortgage payment history before, during and after the bankruptcy proceedings. "In Bankruptcy" needs to portray only DISCHARGED BY or INCLUDED IN...Bankruptcy. Contact your mortgage company so that all of your payment history shows on all three bureaus. No. Not if it were a part of the bankruptcy filing. It may or may not be marked included in bankruptcy or reaffirmed in bankrutpcy. It will still remain on the CR for the prescribed time.
Do you still owe if chapter 7 discharged second mortgage?
If it was discharged, then you don't owe it anymore. However, you can't just assume that any particular debt was discharged by the bankruptcy, it has to be specifically listed. In particular, you probably cannot keep your house AND get your second mortgage discharged.
What can you do if you are in Chapter 13 bankruptcy but still cannot manage your mortgage payments?
The only viable option would be to discuss the matter with the lender and hope that an equitable agreement can be made. In lieu of such, the petitioner should contact the BK trustee to find out if the Chapter 13 can be modified.
How long do you have to wait after declaring bankruptcy to get a mortgage?
I am a Mortgage Loan Consultant and I have made it my area of expertise in working with people with bankruptcies, bad credit, and foreclosures. Firstly you do NOT have to wait 2 years to refinance after a chapter 7 discharge, those are for fannie Mae loans. You can refinance a chapter 7 a day after discharge. A chapter 13 can also be refinanced before discharge since it's on a payment plan for 3-5 years from filing date. You can get a chapter 13 refinance as little as 12 months from filing, not discharge and you can payoff your chapter 13 in the process if you have enough equity in your home. There are major differences between a chapter 13 and chapter 7 refinance but that is for your mortgage broker to be aware of. I work in conjunction with a mortgage broker who is able to get financing for people 12 months out of bankruptcy. I filed bankruptcy in august of 03 and here it is may of 04. I raised my credit scores higher than they were before i filed bankruptcy, but they are still too low. You will only get a mortgage for 70-80% (20-30%down) if you only wait a year. If you wait until it is discharged for 2 years, you will save a ton of money on the downpayment AND on interest. After you file bankruptcy, you need to write letters to everyone you were discharged, so they put on there that you have a zero balance. Keep track of all of this. It is very stressful, but it works. There are several sub-prime mortgage companies who will lend to borrowers one day out of bankruptcy (one day after your discharge).
Can you file bankruptcy on your house after chapter 7 discharge?
Your mortgage should have been included in your chapter 7 discharge. If it was- then you are no longer liable for the mortgage, but the lender can still foreclose on the property. If the mortgage was not included- then why wasnt it included.
If you filled for bankruptcy then modified a mortgage can the mortgage company come after you or will it still be in your bankruptcy?
Great question for your BK attorney
Do chapter 7 bankruptcy relieves you of a mortgage in a divorce but the spouse stills lives in the home?
Filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy will discharge your personal obligation to pay the mortgage, but it does not remove the lien on the property. Therefore, the mortgage lender can still foreclose on the home if the mortgage payments are not made. In a divorce, the issue of who is responsible for the mortgage payments would typically be addressed in the divorce settlement or court order.
If you are not in de-fault on your mortgage can you still file for bankruptcy?
Yes, if you have unsecured debts or other secured debts like a huge car payment you need to get rid of. Be careful to complete the bankruptcy documents carefully, especially if you file a Chapter 7, or use an experienced bankruptcy lawyer.

Are you required to keep home insurance after bankruptcy discharge?
If your still buying the house and you still owe the mortgage company then Yes. It is a part of your mortgage contract. Failure to comply with the terms of your mortgage contract will put you in default on your mortgage and subject you home to foreclosure. It has nothing to do with whether you filed a bankruptcy or not, it's a totally separate issue.
If you file bankruptcy 2 times within 15 years can you still get a mortgage?
