I am not certain about other states, but in Texas you can. I believe this is the case nationwide, but you should consult a bankruptcy attorney in your state to be certain.
Great question for your BK attorney
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 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.
it is 120
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.
Yes, you can walk away from a mortgage and not be liable for a deficiency (even in recourse states) if the mortgage was listed in the bankruptcy.
Yes, your obligation under the promissory note will be discharged, however, the security interest will remain. This means the lender can still foreclose on the property if payments are not made. If you plan to surrender the property to the lender, then this isn't an issue.
Yes, a reverse mortgage does not have credit requirements. you can use one to pay your way out of a bankruptcy, or one right after a bankruptcy. However, the bankruptcy court does have to approve the reverse mortgage if you are in the process of doing one or still paying on one.
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.
Sure... a good time to do it.
You can buy it from the bank
It is still yours until foreclosed formally...the stay just means they can do so.
