    Keep mortgage tradeline open after BK? Quit claim + mortgage mod for ex-wife

    Hi All,

    My 341 meeting is Tuesday, and I should be D/C within 2 months after. I have a positive mortgage tradeline reporting each month for my ex-wife, whom I lost my house to in a divorce proceeding. That was 6 months ago, and my credit reports are still showing the mortgage as active and current. I quit claim the home to her and also had the bank modify the mortgage to remove my name. Post BK, is this a good thing? If I ask them to remove the mortgage tradeline, will my score tank? My score is ~ 570 now so not sure how much fruther it can drop lol

    I really don't want $130k worth of debt on my report, but if the mortgage is propping up my score, should I keep it? I can have it removed by sending the mortgage modification docs to the credit bureaus.

    You cannot quit claim your name off a mortgage loan, so I'm hoping you mean you quit claimed your rights. Normally, in order to remove your name off the loan your ex-wife would have to re-fi in her name only. Are you 100% positive your name is no longer on the loan?

    There is an entire thread on Quit Claiming on the forum; what it does and what it does not do.

      Yep, 100% sure. I'm staring at the letter from the bank:

The note and all associated loan documents otherwise remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms.
