Do you have to reaffirm mortgages to get refinanced?

Marjorie A. Guymon
Answered by attorney Marjorie A. Guymon
Bankruptcy lawyer at Goldsmith & Guymon, P.C.
In lieu of refinancing with your current lender with whom you did not reaffirm, look for another bank to refinance through. Otherwise, yes, you have to file a motion to reopen your case and set aside the discharge order, file a reaffirmation agreement signed by you and the lender, attend a hearing on the same and get it approved, then have your discharge order re-entered and your case closed out.

Answered by attorney Kathleen Delacy (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Reger Rizzo & Darnall, LLP
If it is a federal student loan, no they are not dischargeable in either. If a loan or just past due tuition from a private school, they may be.

Is there any cases that you know of that alouds a detor to keep a per injury award while in a ch13 if the acc happened over two yrs after they filed

Bankruptcy lawyer at Siegel & Siegel, P.C.
You had posted the same thing on Avvo.com.  As I stated there, you can keep $7500.  The rest, if you do nothing, goes to the plan.  You need to structure the payment in a manner that allows you to keep it.  One way which I proposed, was making the payment for lost income, in which case you may not have to pay to the plan.  Speak to your lawyer before speaking to the trustee.
