Ok so we filed Chapter 7 in 2009. We had a first and 2nd mortgages. Our house value is under water. We have continued paying our first and haven't made any payments on the 2nd in 5 years. We don't even hear from them any longer. Of course we realize they still hold interest in the property. ...

Need some help with this question: I filed 13 and was advised to surrender our home that had a 56k 2nd mortgage. both of these loans were submitted to the attorney when I filed. The home was foreclosed and our attorney is now saying that Wells Fargo could still come back and sue us for the 56k because...

Hi all,
I have not been here for a while and without retelling my long and boring story over again I do have a question. Was discharged in August in a chapter 7 and did not reaffirm both 1st or 2nd mortgage. We are underwater on our second mortgage by about 70,000.00...1st mortgage is now pretty...

You read that right, cram-down on 2nd mortgage. Interesting new (revised) strategy emerging for dealing with 2nd mortgages on primary residence. Since...

I had a few questions but would also like to get any other thoughts on what I might not be considering or asking my attorney. I am planning on filing Ch 13 in 30 days to strip the 2nd.

I am trying to settle with the 2nd for 20% of the balance by borrowing $. They have basically told...

I want to file chapter 13 but my scenario is a little different then most.

1st mortgage owed: $128,000
2nd mortgage owed: $118,000
TOTAL OF 2 MORTGAGES = $246,000

My property which is a duplex is worth about $161,000
