How can I tell if a home foreclosure was written off?

default-avatar
Answered by attorney Tony E. Carballo (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Carballo Law Offices
If there was only one loan on the property and there was a trustee' sale then there is no liability of the deficiency (the amount owed less the amount received by the bank at the trustee's sale). If there was a second loan then you still generally owe the unpaid balance of the second loan. The bank may have written it off which means they took it off their accounting books and transferred it to a collection company or sold the debt to another company. You still owe it but not to the same bank. it may not be in your credit report because some of the companies that buy bad debt don't report it to the credit bureau or don't report it for a long time. Therefore, the fact that it is not shown in your credit report does not mean you do not owe it. Sooner or later you will be contacted about it or served with a lawsuit. Your mother will not be liable because of her bankruptcy but they will go after you. You may also have a tax problem since the bank is required to report cancellation of debt to the IRS using a form called 1099-C.

Are closed credit cards with remaining balances unsecured debts?

Probably, but some credit cards are secured and the items bought with them can be repossessed after being sued.

If you're in a Chapter 13 bankruptcy plan, can you file a Chapter 7 instead?

You do have a right to convert your case to chapter 7. You should consult your attorney to determine if advisable.
