Am I still responsible even if our chapter 7 bankruptcy was discharged in 2010?

Answered by attorney Kathryn Ursula Tokarska (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Offices of Kathryn Tokarska
I think you meant to say that you got a loan modification, not a refinancing. It's quite impossible to refinance a property if the amount owed exceeds the property value since the new lender wants some cushion of equity so that they are secured by the property for the amount they are lending out. If you are able to refinance your mortgage ask the current lender to provide you with a statement showing schedule of payments you made since the bankruptcy. Take this statement to any potential new lender so they have a record of payments. You can also append your credit report by sending this statement to the credit bureaus so that it can be retrieved by a lender when they run your credit report. If you did not reaffirm your loans in bankruptcy, your personal obligation to repay this debt was discharged and you will not be responsible for any deficiency after foreclosure.

How can I avoid being sued for foreclosure after bankruptcy?

Simon Goldenberg
Answered by attorney Simon Goldenberg
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Simon Goldenberg PLLC
You may have several options to help save your home, at least for a period of time. A foreclosure defense attorney might be able to assist you in mounting a defense to the foreclosure action. You also may be eligible for a loan modification to reduce your monthly payments to a more affordable amount. If you have just completed a Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you may be able to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in which your arrears can be repaid in a 3 - 5 year payment plan, and depending on your jurisdiction, you may be able to modify your loan in this process. An automatic-stay provision would apply where your foreclosure proceeding would be stalled for a period of time. Seek the guidance of experienced local counsel to help determine your best option based on your specific circumstances.

How much debt do you have to currently be in to file for bankruptcy?

Answered by attorney Jeremy B Shephard (Unclaimed Profile)

There is no limit but you want to consider the implication of filing bankruptcy (bad credit score, future ability to get credit, etc). The lower the amount the less likely bankruptcy makes sense; however, everyone's situation is different.
