Yes it is possible to qualify for a mortgage despite a Chapter 13 bankruptcy filing. In a Chapter 13 filing the debtor agrees to a court structured debt repayment schedule. Typically, after making payments on time to creditors as required by the bankruptcy agreement an individual can be discharged by the Court from the Chapter 13 proceeding. Once discharged from bankruptcy an individual can apply for a mortgage. Each bank has different rules about how soon someone can apply for a mortgage after a bankruptcy. Most people coming out of bankruptcy apply for an FHA mortgage loan since this program has the most lenient underwriting standards.

Can your mortgage company refuse payments after filing Chapter 7 Mortgage was not included in Chapter 7 filing.?
You know, everything ---that is ALL assets and ALL liabilities are included in your bankruptcy...(yes, they may be given different positions, but they all MUST be included)...you don't pick and chose. How did YOU decide to not include your mortgage? To the first responder: Um... Yes, you can eliminate anything you want from your filing. I'm going through it right now, and I am "re-affirming" my mortgage. Technically, I suppose it is still "listed" on the forms, but as soon as you re-affirm, you owe the debt again. To the original questioner: If you have filed the proper papers, your lender should not be able to refuse your payments (assuming they accepted the re-affirm), but you should talk to your bankruptcy attorney for more details. It would, I suppose, be possible for them not to accept the re-affirm, but then you would be out of the mortgage, and they would be stuck with the house, something I wouldn't imagine them wanting since they're in business to make money, not to own houses.

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.
