MORTGAGE MODIFICATION AND BANKRUPTCY

Delays in the government sponsored process of approving your mortgage modification by lenders are inevitable, and as the delays mount, the arrearage on the mortgage continues to grow.  

First, once the lender has reviewed your application pursuant to the government criteria and decided that you are eligible, it will require a three-month trial period.  You will be required to make your normal payments during the trial period before the lender actually determines if you receive a mortgage modification.  The waiting period for your eligibility decision could be extended for several reasons.  If you are denied the permanent modification, the arrears have grown astronomically.

Second,  a mortgage modification can be difficult to obtain if you are self-employed or cannot establish an accurate monthly income average. It is important to consider other options that may help you find debt relief sooner, including bankruptcy.

A well-executed personal bankruptcy filing is often an effective alternative that can provide you with a fresh financial start and long-term financial stability.  Furthermore, you can continue to pursue the modification knowing that the Chapter 13 bankruptcy has provided you a safety net that ensures you will not lose your home.
