Hi,

Unless you reaffirm the mortgage balance, you won't be personally liable for the mortgage payments. As you won't be liable for the mortgage payments, the lender will not be ready to modify the home loan.

Hi. I filed chapter 7 a year ago. Long story short, my mortgage was never reaffirmed, and if I want to still reaffirm I must reopen the case, pay court and lawyer costs to the tune of $500+. I do not wish to reopen my case. I have been making all of my payments on time over this past year, even though it's not reported on my credit, my lender has it on record.

What I'm hoping for is a modification. I understand I am no longer liable for this debt, but I'm quite certain it is in the bank's best interest to keep me, a customer willing to pay and on time, rather than not working with me at all. Perhaps my modification could include language stating that I am again liable for this debt (which I am not opposed to). I know someone in a previous post stated that a lender would foreclose if a borrower could not pay the dues, but in the current housing crisis, who's to say my house (with a terribly cracked foundation) would even sell? Why would a lender push out someone who's already paying just to keep a vacant property, quite possibly worth less than what I owe on it?

I am willing to pay, I would just like my monthly payments lowered.

Welcome Guest,

If you haven't reaffirmed the debts, then you can surrender the property to the lender who can foreclose it to recover as much dues as possible. If you want to keep the property, then you need to pay the mortgage dues on time. In such a situation, it will be better to reaffirm the loan. However, you will have to contact your bankruptcy attorney in order to find out whether or not you can reopen the bankruptcy filing and reaffirm the debt.

You have a chance if you will seek for an assistance of a mortgage broker. You'll get done with it in no time just consult every details about it.

My mom filed chapt 13 a while back and has one year left to pay if off. SHe didn't include her home then since she was not having issues paying. Unfortunately, she lost her job two years ago. She is currently eight months behind but will be able by January to only be 4 months behind. She spent a year trying for modification and was just denied and told she had til Dec 19th when the house would be sold at foreclosure. She just began to have income again, has an audit in progress and would like to try again for a modification. Is this even possible? She also had an atty tell her that she should put the home in chapt 7, but isn't that just delaying the inevitable as well as costing her her vehicle??? Please help!!

Welcome Tltate,

Your mother can once again apply for a loan modification and check out if she will be able to get it. In case she does not get it, then she may try out for a deed in lieu of foreclosure in order to get rid of the property.

Hi lillie!

Welcome to forums!

As your mortgage is not reaffirmed in your bankruptcy filing, you're not personally liable for the mortgage payments. In such a situation, the lender won't be ready to modify your loan. You will have to either pay off the loan as per the payment plan or surrender the property to the lender and let him foreclose it.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
