Hey Freddy! GL with the upcoming filing I think you've made a great decision and gotten some good advice. I just wanted to let you know that I stopped paying and surrendered and we still used the mortgage amount as my housing cost for the bk. I also found a wonderful rental home while the bk was still open post-341. I found the home on Craigslist and rented directly from the owners. I was upfront about our bad credit situation and the owner only cared that we had verifiable income.

I hope it all goes smoothly for you!

Thanks again for the well wishes everyone

I cancelled the HELOC payment on Friday and since then I have received over 25 calls from them! I'm not answerin the phone. I am going to fax the loan mod papers today but I do not have the requested documents so I'm just going to send it anyway.

I will be taking the pre-counseling course this week and meet with my attorney on Friday for means test and finally paperwork. I have a file date of 7/1/11!!

yes, good idead, then have them tell you what's missing...buys some time...great news, you'll be fine, i know it!!

i know our phone down here in florida allows us to put a block on numbers. that may help with all the incoming calls for a while?

Quick question - since I'm not paying the mortgage - how do I justify having that extra money at 341 time? Or do I have to spend it down before then?

Thanks!

we were never asked. but then again we filed AFTER we moved, so IF we were asked it all went into moving expenses.

remember, when you file it's actually a snapshot of what's goinig on at the time of filing. keep that in mind. i would just say you are awaiting a loan mod???? and, were not allowed to pay the bank at the time of the loan mod...(which was the TRUTH in our case). then since the loan mod didn't work we used it for moving expenses????

how long is it before you can file????? can you wait, and i KNOW this would really kill you, but can you wait it out until the actual move????....or better yet, go rent the place now!!!! and start slowly with the transaction that way you can show the move on paper??? just throwing em out there!!

I don't want to move now b/c if I could stay "rent free" for a while that would be ideal. I need to file ASAP b/c Dh's wages are being garnished and July 15th the judgment creditor can start attacking any bank accounts they find and they have already sent in for my wages to be garnished. So I'm going to file 7/1.

well, i all i know is the trustee never asked us what we did with the money after be stopped paying our mortgage, NOT to say that question may not come up, however, i know our trustee what looking at what we filed and that was it.

i really don't think you are going to have a problem since you are filing 7/1.
