No. Troubled debt restructuring is an alternative to bankruptcy. Individual debts can be reaffirmed for reasons deemed otherwise advantageous to the debtor.

What happens to a mortgage after bankruptcy depends on whether or not the debt is reaffirmed. If the mortgage is reaffirmed the homeowner continues to pay it as if the bankruptcy had not been filed, since the debt has not been discharged. If the debt is not reaffirmed, what happens to the mortgage depends on the policies of the individual lender.

Assuming a Chapter 7 in which a secured debt is not being reaffirmed, the debtor should act promptly to transfer the asset to the creditor.Other, non-exempt, assets are collected and sold by the trustee, not the creditors, and the trustee then takes his fee and distributes whatever may be left pro rata to the unsecured creditors.
How do you get a car title after bankruptcy 1 year ago?
If there was a secured loan and you reaffirmed the debt in your chapter 7 and you have paid off the loan, you should get the title from the lender. If you surrendered the car to the lender in your chapter 7, your balance was discharged as an unsecured loan and you have not owned the car since you surrendered it.

Can a secured debt be taken from you after it was discarged in a chapter 7?
In most Chapter 7 cases you are not including secured property unless you are surrendering the property back to the creditor. If you are holding on to secured property during a chapter 7 process the property must be reaffirmed with the creditor at time of filing meaning you have an agreement with the creditor to leave the property out of the bankruptcy and continue to make your payments. When you discharge debt through chapter 7 it doesn't make sense that you could keep a secured piece of property and not pay for it. Maybe you were unclear about what you were really doing.
