In a financial system dealing with bankruptcies, foreclosures, and evolving laws, banks and other mortgage lenders may be willing to work with homeowners to keep them solvent. Our role in this process is to protect your rights while negotiating a plan that fits your best interests.
To avoid foreclosure and a deficiency judgment, loan modification may be your best alternative. In working with your bank or whichever party owns the mortgage, our foreclosure attorneys may be able to change your mortgage plan to reduce payments and forgive late fees. Pursuing this alternative may also help you avoid having to file for bankruptcy.
Given your particular circumstances, filing for bankruptcy could be your most feasible option for debt relief and foreclosure avoidance. While some homeowners will not qualify for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, a Chapter 13 bankruptcy can help you to save your property. Under Chapter 13, debtors are given three to five years to "catch-up" on past debts. Filing for bankruptcy also puts a stop to any foreclosure action that is currently underway.
It is possible to walk away from your house if you choose to. This will result in a judgment against you for the amount you owe to your mortgage company. However, filing for Chapter 7 bankruptcy can eliminate the judgment, leaving you potentially debt free. It is important to consult with an experienced lawyer before taking any action that can limit your financial opportunities in the future.
