Fallen behind on Mortgage Payments?

Unfortunately, many people experience unexpected events during their lives, which cause them to fall behind on their mortgage payments, their real estate taxes, or their association dues. When faced with these debts, people are oftentimes foreclosed upon. Filing a Chapter 13 bankruptcy allows people to catch up on these arrearages over a period of three (3) years and for as long as five (5) years. When a Chapter 13 bankruptcy is filed, the automatic stay stops all the creditors from continuing with a foreclosure sale and the homeowner may cure the arrearage and keep their home.

How to Get Rid of a Second or Third Mortgage?

When property values decreased during the great recession, many homeowners’ properties had a substantial decrease in value. Due to this decrease in value, many homeowners owed more to their first mortgage than their home’s value. Under these circumstances, by filing Chapter 13, many homeowners may be able to reclassify the second or third mortgage and essentially get rid of them so that they never have to repay them. Chapter 13 bankruptcy may be the only method of eliminating second or their mortgage on your home.
