Hi ae,

As far as I know, the time limit between chapter 7 filings is 8 years from the time of discharge whereas the time limit for filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy after a chapter 7 discharge is 4 years.

Thanks

You mean you're trying to do a deed in lieu? Well, it will reduce your credit score by almost 250 points. But let me know your situation in details. Are you finding it difficult paying under Chapter 13 plan?

Hi bill,

As far as I know, you cannot file chapter 13 before 7 years. As you cannot make the mortgage payments, you should better contact the lender and check out if he can offer you some other options.

to anonymous,
yes you will sink also. im sorry to say but anything joint account both
of you will go down. that takes 10 years til it will clear your credit report. but
if you both have kids together then most likely you will get the house because
you need the house for the kids. the judge will likely give you the house. eventhough you are not living in the house since you left you are still responsible to pay also. and you will look good to the judge. the credit
card will we cant do anytthing if will file sometimes but definitely you will
sink too but the good thing is you will get the house that a good thing. also,
you left with your kids? i hope you did otherwise you will look bad to the
judge. he will say you ABANDONED your family. so go back home and get
some help see a lawyer. you pay 100 dollars for an hr counseling and when you see one make sure you have all the questions you need, write
them down so you wont forget. better move girl.

Post     Post subject: Paying mortgage while in a chptr 13

Good afternoon, I wanted to understand how this process works. we are $20k in arrears right now and we are seeing an attorney on Thursday to determine if we would qualify for a 13. My confusion comes in as to as you mentioned above, we would have 3-5 years to pay back creditors, does this include the lender? are they included in the BK and we pay our regular payment to them plus the payment to the trustee? Or is our payment included with the 13 and we pay everything through the trustee?

Thanks.

Hi hearts,

In Chapter 13 bankruptcy, you are not required to sell off your assets for debt payoff. You will have to make payments under the supervision of the court. This will help you in retaining the property and also paying off your mortgage dues according to the new repayment plan given by the lender.

To know more about Chapter 13 bankruptcy, check out the following page:

Take care.

Post     Post subject: No foreclosure on credit report, but on Ch 7 bk papers.

When can I get a home loan if I have a discharged 7-2007 chapter 7 bk ( on my credit report) and a foreclosure on my bk papers ( foreclosure not on credit report because I was only on title and not on loan)? I'm considering FHA but don't know my waiting period ( 2 or 3 years?)

Hi yolandahoward,

You can get an FHA loan 2 years after getting discharged of the bankruptcy. However, for conventional loans the waiting period is 4 years after discharge.

Feel free to ask further queries.

Thanks,

Jerry

Post     Post subject: 2nd Mortgage

We took a 2nd mortgage back in about 2004 our monthly payments were about $250.00, 2nd mortgage was bought out by another company and now our payments are like $559.00 a month, which we cannot aford, how can the payments change and go up so high? It was tight with $250.00 but $559.00 is unreal, since we signed a contract should we not stay at the $250.00 amount? I do not understand how this could happen?

Thank you.
