I filed 7 in 2008. I had reaffirmed my car loan and notified the Mortgage Company on rthe filing.. They never requested a reaffirmation and so there was never a reaffirmation on the mtg.. I was never late on any payments and I want to re-fi the property to get a lower interest rate.. I was told that in order to do this I need a reaffirmation agreement. I call the attorney that did the filing and asked him to do one. He said that you can't reaffirm a discharged debt. Now what do I do? Do I need to have the mtg company re write the mortgage before i can apply for a new loan?

Hi Robrt,

You should have reaffirmed the loan when you were in bankruptcy filing. As your bankruptcy filing has been discharged and your debt hasn't been reaffirmed, I don't think you will be able to get a refinance now.

Thanks

Hi sherri!

Welcome to forums!

You can contact your bankruptcy attorney and ask him to provide you with the reaffirmation agreement. If the bankruptcy has been discharged, then you will have to re-open the bankruptcy filing and then reaffirm the mortgage.

Feel free to ask if you've further queries.
