No. Filing bankruptcy can buy you extra time in your house though. Hopefully the law will change to allow judges to modify your loan terms in the future. If you are behind in your mortgage with no way to get out or get ahead then my advice is stop paying it and file bankruptcy. Then save your money as much as possible because you will need to find a nice rental. Bankruptcy protects you from creditors (mortgage company) from coming after you (wage garnishment,etc.). You need to talk to an actual bankruptcy lawyer. If you already can't afford your bills, DO NOT go destitute trying to pay the crooks back. YOU and your family come first! If you feel "duty-bound" to pay your bills when you don't have the money to pay them you may end up basically broke and homeless in the end. Save your money in a hole in the ground, not the bank.

Good luck. It's not the end of the world. I am in tough times also (unemployed).
