Will filing for bankruptcy help in getting off my mortgage?

Melissa Ann Botting
Answered by attorney Melissa Ann Botting (Unclaimed Profile)
Bankruptcy lawyer at Law Office of Melissa A. Botting
You can "surrender" your interest in the house in a bankruptcy. That will absolve you of personal responsibility for the mortgage. Without reviewing your detailed information, it is impossible to tell you if bankruptcy is a good option for you. If you understand that your student loans will probably not be discharged, it sounds like you are in a position where you should at least find out from someone who can run the numbers for you if bankruptcy is good for you.

Try the South Carolina bankruptcy court website; I honestly don't know where else to tell you to look as I'm not familiar with where people can find "self help" materials. You can still "lien strip" a judgment creditor in MOST cases; be sure to ask an attorney that question so you can get some guidance on what type of creditors are threatening legal action and what recourse they have in BKY.

Can I go into contract while in chapter 7 and then sell after it has been discharged and closed?

Yes, of course you can sell your house after your bankruptcy is discharged and closed by the trustee. I hope you claimed an exemption for your home on Schedule C of your bankruptcy petition. Otherwise, your bankruptcy trustee may decide to sell your home and your case will take a long time to close.
