Filing Ch. 7 & Foreclosure
By: Sandra | 29-08-2008
I recently filed Ch. 7 which has now been discharged. At the time when I first started proceedings with Ch. 7, I had intentions of keeping my home. But since my discharge, I am finding it difficult to keep up with my 1st mortgage, 2nd mortgage and HELC. I am now one month behind in my mortgage payment and two months behind on my HELC. What I am interested in knowing is once a home goes into foreclosure, will I be held liable for the unpaid debt of my 1st, 2nd and HELC or am I protected under the bankruptcy law since I didn't sign a reaffirmation during bankruptcy.
