FAQs

If my house has been foreclosed on, does it make sense to file for bankruptcy protection?

Both foreclosure and filing a bankruptcy damage your credit rating significantly. If you have been foreclosed on, then it may make sense to seek bankruptcy relief from credit card debt, as well as from home equity loans and other second mortgages (for which you may remain liable for after foreclosure).

Can the amount of money I own on a loan be reduced?

It depends on the loan. If it is your first mortgage, absent a change in the law, a bankruptcy court cannot modify the terms of that loan, or reduce the principal amount to the value of your house. If it is a second loan or home equity loan and the home is worth equal to or less what you own on the mortgage, then a court can order that the debt be treated as unsecured, i.e., in the same manner as any credit card debts. If the loan involves a car that was purchased two and half years ago, then the court has the power to reduce the amount of the loan to the blue book value of the car.

What effect does filing bankruptcy have on any lawsuits filed against me?

Filing bankruptcy automatically stops, or stays, any attempt to collect against the filer, including lawsuits, foreclosures, or collection efforts made on a judgment, such as wage garnishment.

We do have more answers on the FAQ page on our website.
