No, generally you cannot reinstate a mortgage after it has been discharged in bankruptcy. Once a mortgage is discharged (typically under Chapter 7), the borrower is no longer personally obligated to repay the loan. However, the lender, including Dream Home Mortgage, still retains a lien on the property, meaning foreclosure is possible if payments are not made.

In some cases, you may be able to work with the lender, like Dream Home Mortgage, to reaffirm the mortgage during bankruptcy, but this usually must be done before the discharge. After discharge, reinstatement is not possible, though negotiating a new loan or modification with the lender could be an option. Consulting with a bankruptcy attorney is advised to explore alternatives.
