You cant have both concurrently. I know most servicers and Fannie guidelines for loan modifications do not allow a loan modification while in Bankruptcy. There is a bill floating around congress that would allow Bankruptcy judges to do cram downs and modifications of loan term in Bankruptcy court. This would be the most practiable way, However there is a huge lobby for the banks that dont want this bill passed.

Do the mod, then file the BK. I'm assuming your filing a Chapter 13? You did not specify in your question.

Can you do a loan modification if you are in chapter 13?

A Chapter 13 bankruptcy puts the entire debt collection process on hold to give the filers time to work out a court-approved repayment plan for a portion of their debts. Thus, because the process is on hold, a loan modification can not be enacted while a mortgage is currently under the supervision of the Chapter 13 trustee. However, it is possible to negotiate a modification of a loan with the mortgage lender during the bankruptcy. But it will be necessary to have the bankruptcy case voluntarily dismissed before the modification can be finalized and put into effect. Banks may not be willing to negotiate with the borrowers under the circumstances of a Chapter 13, though.

Does borrower have to repay private mortgage insurance after filing chapter 13 bankruptcy?

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, borrowers typically reorganize their debts and may be able to include the repayment of private mortgage insurance (PMI) in their repayment plan. However, it ultimately depends on the specific terms of the bankruptcy plan and the court's approval. If the PMI is tied to the mortgage, it may need to be repaid, while other debts may be discharged. It's advisable for borrowers to consult with their bankruptcy attorney for tailored advice.


Can a mortgage be released in a chapter 7?

Yes, a mortgage can be released in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, but it typically depends on the specific circumstances of the case.

If you choose to keep the home, you will need to continue making mortgage payments; otherwise, the lender can still foreclose.
