You are responsible as long as you are the legal owner of the property, Bankruptcy usually discharges certain debts including property related debts. If the mortgage company chose not to exercise their foreclose options then you may still be the legal owner of the property. Depending on the property valuation the mortgage note holder may have determined it more profitable not to proceed with a foreclosure process.

Additionally; If fines were already issued prior to a foreclosure, you would still be liable for payment of those fines as well.

If mortgage was listed by pro se Chapter 7 debtor as secured debt with intent to reaffirm but the bank never presented reaffirmation agreement can the bank foreclose once the bankruptcy is discharged?

Yes. Or the lender could choose to file for the automatic stay to be lifted and if granted proceed with foreclosure action before the BK is discharged. _________________________________________ If a person is current on the payments, and stays current, there is NO violation of the mortgage contract, and the lender would not foreclose. Miss a payment or two, and it will be treated as any other delinquent account. But until then, the status quo is maintained, the Chapter 7 not relevant.


When you do not include your house in a bankruptcy and then get a loan modification but still cannot pay the monthly payment can the bank take your house if you pay something on it every month?

Yes, if you are not making payments on your home, the bank can foreclose. Even if you are paying something, if you are not paying the amount agreed to in the loan modification or original contract, the bank can foreclose. If bankruptcy is active, they may need permission from the court but if payments are not being made in a timely fashion the court generally grants permission to foreclose. The moral of the story - make your payments or the bank can foreclose!

His estate will be responsible for the mortgage. Assuming the wife is not on the deed, if the mortgage isn't paid the bank will foreclose and take possession of the property covered by the mortgage. If the wife is on the deed and she consented to the mortgage the bank can foreclose. If she is on the deed and did not consent to the mortgage then the bank had a defective title and may not be able to foreclose.
