If you're in a large amount of debt and you have a mortgage on a home, you may face the risk of not being able to afford your mortgage payments anymore. Once mortgage payments stop because you simply don't have enough to pay them, your home will probably be foreclosed upon. A foreclosure occurs when a lender repossesses a debtor's home and the debtor loses their home. Our attorneys can assist you if you are facing the possibility of losing your home because you can no longer afford payments.
While bankruptcy does not always seem like the best option, in many situations it can:
Although foreclosure may not be able to be avoided completely, bankruptcy can help to delay the process as much as possible. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy would temporarily stall a lender's right to foreclose on a debtor's home. A temporary stall can give a debtor a chance to find alternative solutions to their problem, such as finding means for extra money and possibly being able to avoid foreclosure all together.
Another option to help avoid foreclosure is by filing for Chapter 13 bankruptcy or repayment bankruptcy. This can be a good alternative to Chapter 7 bankruptcy if it is still somewhat possible for you to make your mortgage payments. Under this type of plan, a repayment plan is structured to make up any missed mortgage payments. This option, including other bankruptcy options, can help to save your home. Speak with our lawyers to discuss the many options available to you regarding foreclosure and bankruptcy.
