If bankruptcy didn't reaffirm my home, can I still walk away anytime?

Giovanni Orantes
Answered by attorney Giovanni Orantes (Unclaimed Profile)

That is correct. If you did not reaffirm the debt secured by your house, you can walk away (and the bank cannot call a default and try to evict you as long as you are current on your house). This often leads the banks holding the note against a house not to report the monthly payments you are making it seems to be a strategy to force you to reaffirm, but Courts have ruled that they are not wrong in not reporting the payments.

In Texas, you are allowed to exempt one car for every adult driver in the family household. Thus, to answer your questions: No.

If sheriffs gives me a 5 day notice can I file for emergency bankruptcy?

Using a bankruptcy to stop a forcible entry and detainer is overkill. You cannot get a bankruptcy off your credit by dismissing it. Bankruptcies need to be filed with forethought and done very carefully. See if the new owner will give you more time by you paying rent for the period that you need.
