What happens to a mortgage after a bankruptcy?

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.

What happens when someone you cosigned a mortgage for has filed for bankruptcy?

When you co-sign on a loan or mortgage for someone, you are promising to make the loan payments if they can't. When someone files for bankruptcy, they are claiming that they cannot make their payments. It would stand to reason that if someone you co-signed on a mortgage for files for bankruptcy that you would then be liable for making the payments.

What happens to charged off debt in chapter 7 bankruptcy if you refinance mortgage?

This confuses two different concepts. A "charge off" is an accounting and tax term that means the creditor does not believe a debt is going to be repaid. It gives the lender a tax deduction. A discharge in bankruptcy is a permanent injunction against a creditor taking any action to collect a debt, including debt collection agencies or successors/purchasers of a discharged debt. Assuming the refi of the mortgage happens after discharge, nothing happens. If the refi happens while a c 7 or 13 is still pending, and lowers the mortgage payment, and has been approved by the bankruptcy court, it could affect how much you have to pay to the trustee.
