You should consider filing for bankruptcy before a foreclosure proceeding begins or as soon as you receive a foreclosure notice. Filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you reorganize your debts and create a repayment plan, potentially allowing you to keep your home. Chapter 7 bankruptcy may provide immediate relief by temporarily halting foreclosure, but it might not allow you to keep your home if you can't catch up on payments. Consulting with a bankruptcy attorney can help determine the best course of action based on your specific situation.
