You cannot change my bankruptcy, but you can convert your Chapter 13 to a Chapter 7. It happens frequently. You may want to check with your lawyer or an experienced lawyer since it can have unintended consequences.

You're really supposed to include ALL your debt in a bankruptcy, especially Chapter 13; you can get by with current month-to-month bills (utilities, etc.), but not mortgages. Most mortgages (including HELOCs) consider bankruptcy itself to be a default, so generally the answer is yes. You need to have your attorney bring the mortgage and HELOC into your plan.
