Your bankruptcy attorney should have had you release the house to the bank during your bankruptcy.  You are not responsible for the debt, but the foreclosure may show on your credit report.  If you don't want to work with the bank to keep the house, your best bet would be a short sale or deed in leu.

When you file bankruptcy what happens if I owe money on my home, do I lose my home and how do I go about filing for bankruptcy?

As with any debt financing the purchase of property, you have to make a choice when you file bankruptcy - pay and keep the property, or walk away and owe nothing. The decision is complicated by the fact that the process to foreclose on property is set out by state law and can be quite lengthy. I believe that the best way to go about filing bankruptcy is to consult with a local bankruptcy attorney who will work with you to make sure your concerns are addressed.
