It is best to call the mortgage lender and start to make arrangements either to temporarily reduce the payments or to refinance to a better loan. You signed an agreement to pay and you should follow through on clearing this up.

How does a person fix bad credit?

To fix bad credit, it can be a time consuming proposition. First you should consolidate all of your credit cards and slowly get rid of them as you pay them off. Pay off your car payments and mortgage payments on time and also stay at a job for a long time. Eventually, you will be able to get a good credit rating.


If you are in Chater 13 and behind on two mortgage payments and now the mortgage company filed papers in bankruptcy court is it too late to pay?

Not necessarily. You need to contact the trustee of your chapt.13 and the mortgage lender. Foreclosures almost always end up as a loss to the lender. If you can make up the back payments and convince the lender that you can continue to make payments on time, they will probably be cooperative. However, the trustee also has a say in the issue, and can opt to have the 13 dismissed. Stay positive, and good luck!

You are filing chapter 7 your ex lives in house but your name is on the mortgage how will this affect him and the house?

You have an "automatic stay" , which means that the mortgage company cannot contact you. If you have a marital agreement that stipulates that you must make the payments, then YOU need to let him know what the deal is. You should let him know that you are to be "held harmless" on any debt owed on your mortgage.

Can you keep your house after a bankruptcy?

Not unless your bankruptcy did the right things to allow you to keep it. If you are not in arrears in your mortgage payments before filing, you have to continue making the payments - preferably before the due date. If you are in arrears, you must file a chapter 13, with a plan to pay the arrears and whatever part of the unsecured debt you have to pay. Once the plan is completed, you can keep your house. If you get behind in your post-petition payments due, the bank will apply for relief from the automatic stay and you will lose your house.

If you file chapter 7 but keep your house can your mortgage holder increase your private mortgage insurance?

I have never heard of that before. Refer to your original documentation regarding the PMI and see what stipulations are present. Also - just call and ask them, that may be less of a hassle. 11/07/08. No they cannot increase your PMI cost or coverage as long as you do not renegotiate the terms of the mortgage. If you renegotiate the mortgage, everything is up for negotiation. They can also require that the MI stay in force until your ltv is at 76% instead of 78% if you have had late payments.
