A reaffirmed mortgage is one that was included in a bankruptcy but the homeowners get to keep the home instead of losing it back to the bank. The payments and length of loan may be adjusted.
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.
No, you do not have to pay off your mortgage before selling your home. When you sell your home, the proceeds from the sale can be used to pay off the remaining balance of your mortgage.
From my understanding after filing Chapter 7, our house was not reaffirmed, but the mortgage company clearly states that as long as the payments are kept up they will not take action against the house and if they do, their interest is solely in the house, not contents.
NO. The second mortgage is still secured by the property. Therefore it has to be reaffirmed or paid according to the stipulations of the lender.

I'm guessing what your saying: You went BK and reaffirmed the mortgage. The BK with the reaffirmation was discharged and you kept the home. Your now behind again and being foreclosed. Of course you can still sell the house - you still own it and your not now under any BK court restraint. To effect the sale, you have to pay off the mortgage (and any other liens) against the house in the closing.

When you sell your home, you typically use the proceeds from the sale to pay off your mortgage. This process is called "settling the mortgage," and it allows you to transfer ownership of the property to the buyer free and clear of any outstanding debt.
Yes, a reaffirmed mortgage needs to reflect the mortgage payment history before, during and after the bankruptcy proceedings. "In Bankruptcy" needs to portray only DISCHARGED BY or INCLUDED IN...Bankruptcy. Contact your mortgage company so that all of your payment history shows on all three bureaus. No. Not if it were a part of the bankruptcy filing. It may or may not be marked included in bankruptcy or reaffirmed in bankrutpcy. It will still remain on the CR for the prescribed time.
Paying extra on your mortgage can help you build equity in your home, which may increase your profit when you sell. However, it's important to consider your financial goals and priorities before deciding to pay extra on your mortgage.
A mortgage company can sell your home for the right price. Often times mortgage companies will offer you an alternative to selling your loan so that you get the best deal available to you. See the related links for mortgage companies in Texas.
yea
A second mortgage already has a lien on the home. If you don't pay the second mortgage they will foreclose and take the home. By paying off the first mortgage you just make it easier for the bank to get their money back out of the property when they sell it.
