1. What's your state? Missouri

2. When did you stop paying? November 2010

3. Are you still in the house? No

4. What is the status of your foreclosure (if it has begun). It is done. Got our sale date of June 30th, 2011 just two weeks after our chapter 7 discharge. We moved on June 25th. My sister, who hasn't paid her mortgage in a year in a half, has still not been foreclosed on. She is with Chase Bank. We believe our foreclosure was fast because we were with a small bank (Flagstar).

2. When did you stop paying? Sept/07

3. Are you still in the house? Yes

4. What is the status of your foreclosure/ no word after filing reply back in Jul/2010

I quite honestly never thought we'd stil be in the house after this long. We abandoned the home in our Chap 13 in 07. Decided we'd stay till we had to leave cause we couldn't afford to move. I have a post from back then here in th foirum asking about how long i could stay. Our Chap 13 payments = almost to the dollar what our mortgage was. It's been stressfull at times- but God really does work miracles if you put your trust in him.

Missouri

December 2009

Moved out in May 2011

No - we received a notice from a local lawyer 3 months ago stating that they were contacted but had not yet reviewed our file.

State is NH
August 2010 was first missed mortgage payment
Moved out in July during the BK
Foreclosure had begun before we finished our last HAMP application. (Offered a mod, but it was insufficient after job changes required either an EXPENSIVE commute or a staff housing room in the out of state job location) Foreclosure sheriff sale date is 9/30.

1. What's your state?
MD

2. When did you stop paying?
2nd totally underwater stopped April 2009, they threatened but couldn't do anything
1st about $50k under on a VA Loan stopped Jan 2010,

3. Are you still in the house?
For now. Planning on getting out in next month or two. But free housing has allowed me to fix my kid's teeth and make the cars safe.
4. What is the status of your foreclosure (if it has begun).
Waiting on Ch7 discharge. 1st filed and got relief from stay about a month ago. MD is a judicial state so I figure (hope) I'll get fair warning to get out. See ya moneypit. Sorry neighbors.

Billssuck,
I am in Chapter 13, house is underwater, so far we are current on payments. I spoke with my attorney and all she suggested is a short sale. Talked with a realtor, and she said the bank (Bank of America) will never do the short sale. So, I was wondering if you let your attorney know first that you were going to stop paying, or did you just stop...and wait? If you just stop paying, doesn't that mess up the Chapter 13? Thanks!

Thank you all so much for your replies. The more I read, the more I see that I can stay in my house for quite a while. I just wanted a feel of the length of time I have in the house before it's foreclosed. Being in New York, I'd say it may be quite a while.

1. What's your state? NY

2. When did you stop paying? Jan 2012

3. Are you still in the house? Yes

4. What is the status of your foreclosure (if it has begun). Not yet

Drowning, you are my inspiration here. Also NY and just got turned down for mod. Said they are going to refer it to FC. I want to stay and also heard that a mod can be negotiated during FC. Ch 7 discharged this month. Is anything different that my bank is a credit union? They keep telling me that no sale date has been set yet both on the phone and in a letter. What do they mean by this?

oh my goodness.....I needed a different lender or something!

We couldn't pay our mortgage starting in May 2012...Citimortgage wasn't playing around I guess and had a sale/auction date on the court house steps on October 16th. We were even in contact with them trying to use their hardship program and modify our loan (which was a joke...they "lost our paperwork" and then didn't contact us...what a mess).

So it only took them literally 5 months to auction our house and kick us out (we stopped it b/c we filed BK 13).

We should have lived somewhere else lol.
