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.

Can you get a reverse mortgage if you file bankruptcy?

Yes, a reverse mortgage does not have any credit requirements, however if you are in bankruptcy or filing one you may need court approval to do the reverse mortgage.


If the mortgage on your home was not reaffirmed after bankruptcy can the mortgage holder report on your credit report?

I can only speak from my own experience. It does indeed appear on our credit report and also states that the mortgage company is filing a claim against us--even though we did not reaffirm the loan. Completely wrong and I've disputed it many times with ALL the credit bureaus but they will not remove it. I'm not sure if there's a government organization that can help force the mortgage company to report correctly to credit bureaus or one that can force the credit bureaus to actually DO an investigation when you dipute it. No win situation, I'm afraid


Is there a bank where you will be able to qualify for a mortgage even though you have bad credit?

Chase will qualify you for a mortgage even if you have bad credit. You can even have filed for bankruptcy


What if you file bankuptcy and have a reverse mortgage?

The reverse mortgage is typically unaffected by the bankruptcy as the mortgage is usually left out of the bankruptcy- that is a conversation you need to have with your attorney however. The bankruptcy court may look at the amount of equity you have in your home and determine what type of bankruptcy you qualify for. A reverse mortgage can even be used to pay off a bankruptcy or a mortgage in foreclosure as there are no credit requirements on them. I suggest talking to a bankruptcy attorney for information on what is available to you from the courts side of things.


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.

Is a primary borrower's mortgage or credit affected when the co signer on a loan declares bankruptcy?

no


I had filed for bankruptcy 2yrs ago and it was dismissed. I have a zero balance on a auto loan that shows on my credit report. Do I still have to make my car payments?

If you reaffirmed your car loan during your bankruptcy, you agreed to continue making the payments. If you included your car in the bankruptcy, then the loan was wiped clean, as it appears to have been according to your credit report. Your car should have been repossessed, but apparently wasn't. You should check with the lawyer who handled your bankruptcy, but my guess is that your car slipped through the cracks.

How hard is it to get a mortgage after chapter 13 discharge?

If you have just filed bankruptcy, you will not be barred from ever obtaining a mortgage loan; however, you will not be able to get one immediately.
