My financial situation changed due to health problems. I tried a non-profit debt management program and was making my payments timely. However, one creditor would not get on board and I had to seek an attorney and I am now in the process of filing Chapter 13.

I have a first and a stand alone second on my home. Two different lenders. My first is with Countrywide and the second with a credit union.

My first adjusts in June of 2011. The attorney was waiting to see if HR 1106 passed. Today it was rejected.

My question is this, I see no other way now but to file chapter 13. I am so far behind now. How or when can I try and modify the first before it adjusts and I face losing the home I worked so hard to finally purchase?

Hi kathyb

As you are already delinquent on your mortgage payments, you can apply for a loan modification right now. You can write a hardship letter to the lender and apply for the same. Again, you should also remember that when you file Chapter 13 bankruptcy, the court will place an automatic stay and the creditors can't sue you for the debts.

Thanks.

Hi,
The House recently approved a bill allowing bankruptcy judges to lower mortgage payments for struggling homeowners. This is certainly good news for the 5.4 million homeowners who were in default by the end of last year. But how can it really benefit struggling borrowers? What change does it really make for you? This guide answers a few basic questions.
