Hi guest,
Welcome to our forums.
You can file Chapter 13 whenever you want. But at the same time, there shouldn't have been any dismissal from abankruptcy case within a year of filing chapter 13.
Good luck _________________ Mortgage Shopping made easy with booklet |

Hi madeline,
In the state of Pennsylvania, you may be charged with deficiency judgment in case the home sale price (if the lender forecloses) isn't enough to recover the amount you owe. However, if you go for deed in lieu, no deficiency payment will be asked for.

Welcome FRUITLOOP,
The deficiency judgment can be discharged through bankruptcy. But the best way is to pay it off. This is because bankruptcy will drop down your credit score further. What type of bankruptcy are you willing to file? and how much is the deficiency payment?
Thanks. |

Hi bouncerboy,
Welcome to the forums.
What type of bankruptcy have you filed? Is the mortgage included in it? Since you're 2 months behind, you can request the lender for a work out plan if you haven't included the mortgage in the bankruptcy.
There are several loss mitigation options or work out plans available with lenders. You need to negotiate with them regarding the option that you'd like to choose. Just check the loss mitigation options so that you'd get an idea on what it's all about.
May god bless you.

Post subject: VA Deed in Lieu of Foreclosure |
|
|
| We are 1 week into foreclosure and we are trying to determine the best route to take as far as credit reputation is concerned. The loan is in my husbands name alone and he has been laid off indefinitely for the last several months. Do you think it would be better for him to do a deed in lieu being that he cannot afford the property or should he file a BK 7 (no way to file BK 13, income is very limited). This is a VA loan. Thanks for your feedback! PS we have had a loan mod already which went into default when he was laidoff. Originally he had to take a massive pay cut which caused for the loan mod request. |

Hi Swan
I think your husband should first try for either a deed in lieu or a short sale rather than filing Chapter 7. Both short sale and deed in lieu foreclosure are similar processes. You will have to give the property to the lender and he will give you a mortgage release certificate. The lender will then sell off the property to recover the debts.
There are chances that there will be a deficient amount from the sale of the property. In deed in lieu, the lender will forgive the deficient amount whereas in short sale you will have to pay back the deficient amount to the lender.
To know more about deed in lieu and short sale, check out the following links:

| I am voluntarily giving up my home as my husband has moved out due to marital problems. The mortgage is in my name and I cannot file bankruptcy for another 2 years. If my home goes into foreclosure and my lender wont forgive the difference how am I taxed and how do I pay. If there is a deficiency of say 40,000. Do I pay all of this or do I pay a taxed amount |

Hi anonymous,
You should contact with the lender and check if you can get the options of either short sale or a deed in lieu foreclosure. In case of deed in lieu foreclosure, the deficient amount will be forgiven. But you will have to pay taxes on this forgiven amount as it will be considered as your income by the IRS. In case of short sale, you will have to pay the deficient amount to the lender.
Thanks,
Jerry |

Hi petrina!
Welcome to forums!
After the lender forecloses the property, there may remain a deficient amount from the sale of the property. If you cannot pay this deficient amount, the lender will have the right to place liens on your other rental properties.
Feel free to ask if you have further queries.
